NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA CONCENTRATING WORKS RECORDS
The New Jersey and Pennsylvania Concentrating Works (NJPCW) was the largest and most expensive of Edison’s iron ore ventures. Organized on December 27, 1888, the company began operations in January 1889. Its general offices were initially located in New York City and were moved to the West Orange laboratory in 1894. Edison supplied more than four-fifths of the company’s capital and served as its president from 1889 until 1908. Numerous associates, including Charles Batchelor, Samuel Insull, Walter S. Mallory, and John F. Randolph, also served as officers. In the early 1890s the company constructed a plant at Ogden (later named Edison), near present-day Ogdensburg, New Jersey, to engage in the large-scale separation of magnetic iron ore from low-grade ore found in abundance throughout the region. Despite Edison’s constant attention, the Ogden works never ran satisfactorily. Equipment failures, along with engineering and other technical problems, prompted Edison to develop costly new machines for crushing, conveying, screening, separating, and drying the iron ore. By the end of the 1890s, iron ore prices had fallen sharply with the arrival of low-cost, high-grade ore from the Mesabi range in Minnesota, and NJPCW found itself unable to sell its product at a profit, despite significantly lowering the unit cost of its separated ore. Operations were shut down permanently in 1900, despite Edison’s promise to rebuild the works. The technology, including the crushing machinery, was later used at other enterprises, including the Edison Portland Cement Co. at Stewartsville, New Jersey, and the New Jersey Zinc Co. of Franklin, New Jersey.
The records are arranged into nine series: (1) Administrative and Financial Records; (2) Shipping Records [not filmed]; (3) Employee Records [not filmed]; (4) Legal Records; (5) Plant Operations Records; (6) Minutes; (7) Letterbooks; (8) Mine Survey and Property Records [not filmed]; and (9) Sand Sales Records. A finding aid is available at the Edison National Historic Site. Related records can be found in the Alexander Elliott, Jr., Papers and the Walter S. Mallory Papers (Special Collections Series)
Administrative and Financial Records. These records cover the period 1889-1911, but most of the documents were generated in the 1890s. Included are incoming correspondence, accounting records, labor statements, stock certificates, canceled checks, and other general office records kept by company officers or senior managers. The records document the organization,
management, and failure of the company; the experimental mill at Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania; operations at Ogden, New Jersey; and the testing of equipment, ore, and briquettes. Other subjects include relationships with suppliers, customers, and investors and the market for Edison’s ore, briquettes, and milling technologies. Some of the correspondence is duplicated in the Letterbooks, and some of the material is complemented by documents in other series.
Shipping Records [not filmed]. These records cover the period 1889- 1901. Included are bills of lading, invoices, orders, receipts, requisitions, and other documents relating to company purchases and sales. There is also some correspondence, but most of the correspondence relating to shipping can be found in the Administrative and Financial Records.
Employee Records [not filmed]. These records cover the period 1889- 1900. Included are payroll lists, daily time sheets, time cards, and other employee records. The documents provide information about the various occupations at the Ogden works, hours worked, and monthly earnings payments. Some of the records identify laborers by ethnicity, particularly Italian and Hungarian.
Legal Records. These records cover the period 1814-1911, but most of the documents were generated in the 1890s; the earliest material consists of title searches. Included are correspondence, agreements, deeds, lists, leases, indentures, opinions, and reports. The documents deal primarily with leases, mineral rights, and mining surveys on mining sites in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Some items relate to company board matters, stock transactions, tax matters, financial claims, and the acquisition of the Sussex Iron Co. Other material pertains to litigation resulting from the collapse of the stock house at the Ogden works in 1892, including reports by detectives hired on behalf of the company to infiltrate the mining community.
Plant Operations Records. These records cover the period 1891-1902. Included are correspondence, memoranda, reports, notes, drawings, calculations, lists, and other documents. Most of the material deals with the design, construction, operation, improvement, repair, and dismantling of machinery and equipment at the Ogden works. The records are arranged into five groups: (1) unbound documents; (2) linen drawings; (3) bound volumes; (4) standard-size notebooks; and (5) pocket notebooks.
Minutes. These records cover the period 1888-1900. In addition to the company minute book, there are unbound duplicate minutes of directors’ meetings for 1891 and 1892 and miscellaneous related items for 1896. Only the minute book (December 1888-January 1900) has been filmed. The subjects covered include the election and resignation of officers, the appointment of general managers, calls for capital, and increases in capital stock. Specific discussions involve mine properties known as the Gilbert Ore Mine, Scrub Oak Mine, and Ogden Mine; negotiations regarding the royalty agreement with the Edison Ore Milling Co., Ltd. (1890); the purchase of the Ogden Mining Co. (1891); the death of Robert L. Cutting, Jr. (1894); and the removal of the company’s offices from New York City to the West Orange laboratory (1894). Also included are two long reports by Edison on the status of the company’s mills (1890, 1898).
Letterbooks. These records, which cover the period 1889-1903, consist of 52 volumes containing tissue copies of the company’s outgoing correspondence and internal communications. Some of the material is duplicated in, or is complemented by, material in other series. The letterbooks are divided into 7 subgroups determined by the principal author(s) of the volumes, the specific subject matter, and considerations of chronological continuity. Included are letters relating to stock transactions; stockholders’ and directors’ meetings; payment of company obligations; changes in company officers; insurance, employment, tax, and legal matters; press relations; market and economic conditions; properties leased or owned; the design and purchase of equipment; the chemical analysis, manufacture, and marketing of iron ore, briquettes, and sand; the construction, modification, and closing of the Ogden works; interest in minerals other than iron, such as gold and molybdenite; and visitors to the Ogden works. There are also some letters regarding Edison’s views on company policies and correspondence about his schedule, character, health, and family.
In addition, the letterbooks contain occasional correspondence regarding Edison’s other iron ore enterprises; some letters concerning phonograph contracts, litigation, and stock; items pertaining to the price of General Electric securities and other aspects of the electric light business; and a few letters about the telephone, kinetoscope, and phonoplex business.
Mine Survey and Property Records [not filmed] . These records cover the period 1889-1897. They consist of approximately 75 standard-size (6" x 9") and pocket notebooks. The books were used primarily by Theodore Lehmann,
Charles J. Reed, and Charles H. Kayser for surveys of mining properties. Most of the surveys relate to the Ogden mine and other properties in New Jersey, but there are also surveys of properties in Pennsylvania and New York. One notebook contains an 1897 list of property leases.
Sand Sales Records. These records cover the period 1891-1902, and deal primarily with routine business matters, although they sometimes discuss the use of Edison sand for cement, traction, sand blasting, and other purposes. Only one item has been filmed: a bound volume containing an abstract of sand and ore concentrate sales for the period 1892-1902.

While at tecl^elsyille yesterday I made some experiments i or the purpose of «n HtJtanfth* amount of iron in the tailings from the second magnet going to the waste heap, and just before leav- ' ins made the following analysis. As you will see the crude ore ran: unusually low. Crude ore contained II.28 metallic iron. The Con¬ centrate at the first market was 65.16, the tailings from the first , mariuct going to the second magnet was just exactly s%. The tailings from the second inagnet going to the waste heap war 2,77, The Con¬ centrate at the third magnet was 62.49, the tailings from the' third magnet were 6.70,
The parting board at the second magnet was set about s/a of an inch from the slit. The magnet was about f S A inches fr On the stream of ore. In putting the magnet any closer than this, in fact even at this distance from the stream, a groat deal of the ore ac¬ cumulate u on the face of the magnet, therefore I did not think it ad¬ visable to set the magnet any closer: still if V;c had 25 or 50* oi'e '

Dear Sir;-

W1' ^
I am laying out the steam plantt for your1' Or# ivli 11 at Ogden.
I was up there yesterday with Mr. Livor. We need very much a general pis for foundation and general size of that 300 H. P. engine, and at Mr. Liyor's suggestion, I would ask you if you could not send the following cablegram to Weyher, Pantin, Seine. (I am not sure whether the name is quite right. )
also e ablest Le£eral enEine and foundation required,
wh?pVi°?+ o,n§in®.30an.nS??e“ to 165 revolutions, also direction in *
nection'caHe mlde^6 °f S3£K88kiHH enSine to whiSh direct shaft^oS-
I think it is necessary to get all this information at once by cablegram, as there are several questions depending upon it. The Ore plant is laid out to connect on direct shaft connection and they can¬ not get along very much with less than 165 revolutions.
Not being thoroughly familiar with the engine, X do not know whe¬ ther it can be adjusted up to that speed here. Also, we must know the direction of, revolution, or whether we can run it either way we want, otherwise it may change it from the side we have it on now to the other side. Please send me this information as soon as, you can get it.
I will try to get out there the first part of% next week, but I am hurrying these plans through for Mr. Livor and need.; all the information I can get as soon as possible. • „
The regular speed of the engine is, I understand, about 130. Perhaps you can give us some of this information without cableing.

POSTORIPT,
We regret very nueh not being able to change the di¬ rection of the movement of the engine, as you widti, this boil's the reason: The direction is such that the oblique prosaire of the crank presses the hoed of the piston upon the bottom of the slide. In the other dir <eot ion, on the contrary, this piece would necessarily rub -upon the sidos of the slide where the rubbing sur¬ face is nuch mere slender. As to the augmentation of speed, we do not dare to state that it could take place without inconvenience but you will bo free to try it yourself if you ; judge it desirable. The direction of tla governor lends itself very readily oithcr in augmenting the force of the springs or diminishing the weight of

Orange, N. J.
Tours statins that Hr. Edison had requested you to make two Dust Separators for us is at hand. X notice on the sketch you gave me, that the pulleys driving the wide belt are 36“ diameter and eight inch face. This diameter of pulley will make it neccessary for us to put up a very large pulley to get the proper speed to t he Dust Separator, and according to a letter which I have received from ■ Mr. Kennel ly, there is no neccessity of making the pulley anywhere near this size. He states that the current required would not take over 6 1/2 H.P., and fckaifc 6 i/a H.P. additional for running machine .
I wish you would, arrange it so that pulleys not over 24" diameter are put on to drive the belt. It v/ ill be very inconveier.t for us to use any greater diameter. The face can remain the. sane. You wi 11 see in moment, that pulleys of this size are go cl ;or two or three times the H.P. required for JrivJu; the m.-.di ir.e.
Yours truly.

Dear Sir:-
1 shall be glad if you will have nade a complete list of the leases relating to the Ogden Mine ,and other mines which we have in New Jersey, and let me have it in the course of to-morrow I am about to make an appointment for Friday next with Major Eaton to lay all the leases which have been prepared before him with a view of getting his opinion on them. It would probably expedite matters considerably if you would arrange to keep an appointment with Maj or Eaton when both I and Mr. Butler propose to be. present.
I will let you know as early as passible the exact time we can fix for a meeting.
Mr.Insull can not go out with us this week, so Mr.Butler and I have deferred our going till next week, when Mr.Insull and Mr .Cut¬ ting will probably go with us by the 8 o'clock train.
Yours truly

Dear Sir:-
As it is some time' since you heard from here, no doubt you are anxious to know how I am getting along, and what pro¬ gress I am making in drilling. In the first place I would like
you and Mr. Perry, or some othe.r persons of the Company would pay a visit to the place, so that they can see for themselves how we are getting along. It woul^l be a releif to know and see. for your¬ selves. I enclose a diagram of the different holes bored, aid th those I intend to bore. It will be of some assistance to you.
I have not discovered any ore, since I sent you my last report, al- though I have bored over 100 feet further. It seems this hill Is confined, or that the strata lays in confusion* The present hole or #3,1 will go to wptdr. level, which is 165 feet from head of shaft I would be glad to receive any suggestions you or any of the Com¬ pany may make. If .the Benfield property is to be prospected. or any place further off than 300 yards from the boiler,! will have to get a pair of wheels made (I can get them made here at the Wheel wright's) so as to make the boiler now at Benfield shaft, into a portable boiler, as it is now it is on skids , and can not be. moved very readily. If convenient I wish you would shown this letter and diagram to Mr.T.A.Edison:if not let me know by return mail, and I will make a duplicate and send to him. '
I hope you will understand the diagram.

Dear Sir,
Mr. A. Ii. Inman, General Manager of the Chateaugay Ore & Iron Co., Plattsburgh, N. Y. , is proposing to erect a new Iron Concentrating Mill as an addition to his present Works, at Iiyon Mountain. At the present Mill he has, concentrating is done by the wet jigging process and he proposes to use the same process m the new Mill. Wo mention this to show you that his process will not be a copy of the Ogden Mill, as the arrangement of a Mill for wet concentration, would, of necessity, differ greatly from a Mill in which the separation is done by electricity.
We have subnitted proposal to Mr. Inman for furnishing the Brennan Crushers and Rollers for equipping. his Mill and he is giving out- proposal favorable consideration, but he desires to see the
Cmshe>-s and Rolls in operation reducing the mined rock and with this in view he asks and we respectfully request, permission for the admission of Mr. Inman's representatives, Messrs. Hall & Hodgson, to visit the Mill at Ogden, with the sole purpose of
H. M. L. #3.
seeing the Crushers and Rolls in operation and we will (guarantee that these gentlemen will confine their attention to the Crushers and Rolls and examine the Mill no further than as relates to the Crushers and Rolls.
Mr. Inman writes us in relation to this matter as follows, via:
"I think that if Mr. Hall were to witness the successful "operation of your ''Crushers and Rolls and made a good "report of their ‘working, it would result in the "decision of our Company in favor i of your appliances." Prom the foregoing you will see that we have no object other than to sell Mr. Inman our appliances and that Mr. Inman himself has no desire to examine the Mill further than as relates to the Crushers and Rolls. It will be an important sale to us if we can make it and if the gentlemen mentioned were satisfied wi th the operation of our Machinos, we have no question that it would result in our obtaining their order and wo trust that you ’will favor us in this matter.
Yours very truly.

Dear Sir:-
V/hen you arranged that I should have 1055 of Mr. Cutting>s interest in this company, I fully supposed that the call which was given me by Mr. Cutting carried with it all the usual priveleges.
I now find, according to the enclosed letter, that Mr. Cutting does not so construe it. I v/as never asked whether I wished to take ad¬ vantage of the increase in the capitalization at the time the capital was increased to $150,000 as I supposed my call was good on Mr. Cut¬ ting for I/to of his interest whatever it might be up to the time the call v/as due.
I so expressed myself to Mr. Perry, (who as you. know, ar¬ ranged the matter,) in the early part of this year and he did not deny it.
Mr. Cutting nor anybody in his interest asked me at the time the increase was made, whether I desired the call to include the same proportion of the increase, and you know from what X have said to you, that X never dreamed that there would by any such question raised Wall Street usage may justify Mr. Cutting, but fair minded people, taking into consideration all the circumstances, would say

H. M. Livor Manager,
19 Dey St., City.
Dear Sir:— Your favor of the 7th together with Mr. Craik's letter of June 30th, returned herewith, was forwarded to Messrs. McIntosh & Seymour, to which they make .reply as follows:
"As to whether we ought to stand the cost of the extra piston and piston rods, we would say that it is difficult for us to see why we should in view of all the information in connection with this matter. it is hard for us to believe that anything caused the piston to. move up on the rod except water.
The low pressure piston on our engines has no more pressure, piston for piston, than the higi pressure, and it is more secure¬ ly held to the rod, yet in this case it moved and the high pressure did not. This seems to be evidence that it is something aside from mere good for nothing engine building that made the low pressure piston move. it seems to be a very good, plain un¬ scientific reason that anybody can understand. When we say .that the low pressure piston is capable of standing 3 to 4 times as much pressure as it gets, it strikes
that it is good evi-
k
dence that the engine is not miserably i>ut together, es¬ pecially as the higi pressure piston, as stated above, always has as much as the low pressure when the low pressure gets its greatest amount, and always gets full boiler pressure and contin¬ ues that pressure until the valve cuts off.
This Ogden engine is the only 10 1/2" cylinder engine of ours out in whioh the piston got loose.
We think that we ought to say that the man who runs an engine, that is the kind of a man he is in handling such things, has a great deal to do with the proper running of an engine, and in this connection we would like to say about Mr. Craik that we know him very well, better than you do, and we know him to be a man who talks well provided he does not talk with anybody who really knows much about an engine, and know that he can make a fair impression as regards his handling of this engine, though in a machine shop or about an engine tte would say that we know him to be very reckless and oareless.
We have seen him start engines here at the shop when he was foreman, and Where he. ought to have been careful so as to set an example of oare, at least if for no other reason, and we have seen him Start up' engines when they were to be tested, and do it in such a way that water was squeezing out of all joints on the
%
engine and straining the engine badly, and when his atten¬ tion was called to it he would answer in about this way, which shows his careless and reckless character: 'Never mind if she
has got. lots of water, let her have it, she is good for it; that's what they are made for to run on water as well as steam; give it to her'. This explains as well as we can his way of doing things, occasionally at least.
Our man who went to Ogden is a man .of great reliability, and of very good character in every way, and we have implicit trust in what he says, and have never been deceived in him. He is very careful and has had a great deal of experience on our com¬ pound engines. When he cane baok he said that he considered Mr. Craik very careless and reckless, and when we oonsider that that was the first time he ever saw Craik, and knew nothing about him, it corroborates our experience with him.
He says Craik started up the big French engine quickly, opening the throttle valve about as fast as he could open it, and bring her right up to speed. If he is foolish enough to start up a big, expensive engine in that way, he certainly wbuld not be more eareful on our engine.
It is true that since he has fixed the piston his own way,
H.M.I, . 4.
he has had no more trouble, but possibly he has learned from experience to start it up as it ought to be, and look after it properly. This may be the reason why he has not had a loose or broken piston again.
He says in his report that he put a jack to the engine some¬ where to make it move. Does it not strike you that any person who would start an engine with a jack sorew, is hardly fit to Ao around one!
We have rendered no bill, nor do we propose to, for Mr. Cosy's expenses to Ogden, although by rights we Bhould have done so we think. We doing this on your account and on Mr. Livor's, to make sure that everything was right. We trust that this explanation will be satisfactory to Mr. livor, and also desire that what we have said relative to Mr. Craik, to be considered in strict confidence as we have no desire to injure him, but knowing him as we do, we want the matter understood, so that we shall not be blamed fbr his shortcomings;
We ourselves as you know have maintained from the first, and have no reason to change our opinion ;that the engine was broken by water in the low pressure cylinder, as it is impossible
to disarrange the low pressure piston.'in any other way.
o\
McIntosh & Seymour put the low pressure piBton the rod
'1
H.MiL.
using a aiap without shoulder so that in ease water gets into the low pressure cylinder the piston will move, thus confin¬ ing the damage to the piston only. If put on with a shoulder and water gets into the cylinder something has got to give, and if it is not the piston, then more serious damage is done by their breaking out a cylinder head; breaking orosshead, or con¬ necting rod, but as stated in their explanation above, this low pressure piston is put on more firmly than the high pressure piston. This because in many oases it is necessary to remove the high pressure piston, and there is not the liability of damage from water in the high pressure cylinder to the extent that there is in the low pressure.
Please treat the mention of Mr. Crgik in strict confidence as neither McIntosh & Seymour nor ourselves desire to do him anything but a good turn, but we both think it due to you to know his general character and way of doing things in view of the fact that you have him in charge of important and expensive machinery, and have placed him in a very responsible position.
Trusting that this explanation will be satisfactory, we are,
Yours very truly,

■Dear Sir:-
I enclose you herewith Analysis- which' I had made. The is the material which I sifted through a 50 mesh screen and sepa¬ rated on the belt machine at Ogden. The belt machine was not working very well, on account of the magnets hanging over at an angle owing to -their not being properly supported. This probably shows why the
V
analysis shows^higher in iron and lower in phosphorous. The sample
#2 was our regular concentrate, which on weight analysis that I made
at Ogden, showed up about 5££t. This shows conclusively that we must
i allow^at least 2# from any weight analysis that we may make at Ogden.
!>■*» was sifted through a JQ .me.-sh screen, but even at that fineness it * . .
is evident that at least 2$ must be taken off of any weight analysis made. The number one sample 03- you see is considerably below the Bessemer limit. Of course you know that a 66s« ore with .066 phosphor¬ ous, will be considered Bessemer, so that with even .035 of Phosphor¬ ous ^irM-h^ ore, it is very^ood Bessemer. But I have no doubt but that we have got the magnets straightened out and thoroughly supported, the dust separators, Ml show better results.

We ran three sections of the Mills yesterday-, and whiis: the third section did not jet very much material, owing to the enormous capacity of the other sections, I am forced to beleive that our last estimate of the capacity of the Mill is less than the real capacity. Our crushing capacity is 3imply enormous, as 1 hope to, show you on next Tuesday v/heh you will be there. I arn in hopes that tomorrow morn¬ ing when I jet there, we shall be able to start the Mill up complete.

Dear Sir
Yours of the 7th of August received. I can hardly see how you make out that by putting in the four additional Rolls, four additional Screens, and eight additional Magnets, that it will not bring the amount above the $53,000 appropriated for the Refinery. These items alone would cost nearly $10,000, and the additional cost of the buildings necccssary to accommodate this additional machinery will probably not be less than $2,000, which will make $12,000, not including the cost of erecting the machinery which would lave to be added on this amount. There certainly was not enough margin in the $53000 to cover about $13,000 additional outlay.
I enclose herewith a letter received from the Superintend¬ ent of the Central R. R. of N. J. , which explains itself. This will probably
force us to take another location and will bring the cost of our buildings beyond our original estimate. The only other location that at the moment suggests itself is through the elevated grounds on whioh Mr* Brennan’s Office stands; This would make a great deal of <S*oaVatioh of dirt and rook neocessary, and would probably add at

Gentlemen: -
The buildings that you are erecting at Ogden are located in such position as to leave us practically no room for our tracks, and unless you change your location I do not see how we can possibly give you the accommodation in the way of tracks that you need, and at h the same time have sufficient track room to do our own work.
Is there not sane way that you can change the location of your buildings so as to accommodate both yourselves and us. Yon rs truly,

Mr. Brennan suggests, and I agree with him, t}rf£t
mechanical feed attachment of the Belt Separating Machine should he a part of the machine itself, and arranged so that in case the machine stops the feed will stop. If by doing this it should make any dif¬ ference in the distance between the posts, we ought to know it at once, as we propose to push everything with all possible dispatch in regard to the new Mill.
I am patiently waiting your written instructions to purchase the four additional Rolls and Screens, as arranged for when I saw you

son or seme other competent Engineer, 30 to Ogden and fully examine the French Engine . I do not think that we can set more than enough power from this engine than it will take to run two sections of the mill. I think furthermore, that the engine is structurally weak, and if allowed to run as now I am. afraid it will shake to pieces. It is top heavy, and the vibration is sufficient to convince any one that the engine will be scrap in less than a year. 1 think it possible that it can be braced so as to last longer, but this will not help us out in getting sufficient power to run the whole mill.
At any rate, I think it very important that some expert, and I -would suggest Mr. Henderson, be called in to indicate the en¬ gine, and also to report as to the safety of running it in its present vibratory condition.
The mill itself is running very well, I have hovre^fe?, de¬ cided to put on a larger belt from the large crushes, now knbWft 'as “Hungry Jake from Harlem."

When I left Ogden last night we had nearly 2000 tons of Concentrate stored in the shed.
We find that Mr. Brennan’s idea of having circular brushes
revolving on the outside of the screens will keep the holes ^absolutely

clear. In this case, with four and plenty of power, th^r-e is
no doubt but that the mill is good for 100 tons per hour, if the large breaker can give us that quantity.

In examining this plate and testing it, I would ask you to take into consideration that the screen will be cylindrical, and the product that will pass through the holes must be much smaller than the holes themselves.

I left Bechtelsville.Pa., Saturday morning, on arriving here.
I found things all right, but the bore hole is very hard. We are now a little over 200 feet deep and we areaV^&£ not quite 4 feet per day. we are drilling one bit each day.or 4 feet, and it costs $ 8 to have a new Blink bit and have it reset. We could bore 8 feet per day if we had two more bits, as we have to wait so long, nearly half of our time, for bits as we cannot get from Pa. over five bits reset each week, and if we send to New York.whioh we did, we can't get but 4 as the express is detained. We run 3 bitsjwhen one is dull, we send it right off to be reset. i an driving a cut and tunnel to strike rock so that 1 can start hole no. 2, as the drill wants rock to start on. I am in now nearly 70 feet and struck iron ore, and at this writing it is 10 feet thick of very nice ore. I cannot keep secret as nearly every person who passes here naturally looks at the dumps, and where the mm are working, as it is not protected. Mr. Butler will explain the tunnel and cut to you. He saw it. If I wa8 Ieft t0 my own judgment and action, I would abandon the present hole at 200 feet or over and start hole no. 2, and descend the drill l/lo 0f ’an inch to the foot.then we could drill 500 feet. At present, the drill ascends a little but s.o little fchat it is not noticeable. The drill is rather too light to bore a deep hole horizontal but on any descent towards vertical it will bore a deep hole and will bore 900 feet or over perpendicular. The action of the water forcing the tubes outward and the friction on the tubes or rods in the hole., accumulates nearly all the power to force the rods to
[ENCLOSURE]
and keeps them at the bocf-.om of the hole so that there is very lit¬ tle power left to cut or drill , although*-, if you prefer it, I can bore the 300 feet required by this hole and over.but the expense will be considerable more.
Please call if you have time and explain the situation to M r. Edison. He will give you his ear fop a few minutes.

I hand you herewith the report of Mr. Lyne on the triple expansion engine at Ogden. Please pay particular attention to what he says in connection with the power required in running the mill light, and in running the mill with one section and the big crusher. You ,vill notice that he states that, when one section is running and
crushing t'he rock, that it, shows 51 H. p. required per section. In reference to the matter of friction, I calculate fa^will very- material ly reduce that, as the large ' screens over the rolls which were running on trunions have now been changed, and both ends of shaft/ are running in bearings. This I think will save at a very ..low estimate, 20 H. P. for the four screens. Yfe are also at work protecting the bearings from the dust. When we have this finished I calculate that we will save from 35 to 50 H. P. additional. We will put it aat 35 H. p. , '-j

Dear Sir:-
I read in the papers that Mallory’s Mill at Humboldt has burned down. This brings to my mind our rather unprotected condition at Ogden in regard to flre» I have at Ogden from 1250 to 1500 feet of hose which could be operated by the pump in the boiler house, and this is our total protection from fire outside of 2*1 fire extinguish¬ ers. You of course know how serious a thing it would be for us if v/e were to meet with a fire at the present moment. 1 still think, as I suggested to you verbally the other day, that we ought to have an independent fire pump and boiler outside the buildings, and connected in such a way as to draw water from both pond and mine. 1 of course remember what you said in regard to sprinklers, but I think that our building being of such peculiar construction, is not well adapted for sprinklers, and strongly recommend that v/e purchase immediately, a double acting fire punp and boiler, and if you desire it, we can put in sprinklers some time in the future. I feel confident that with this independent pumping station and a well organized force at the Mill, that a fire could not get the best of us. I hope that you will approve of my suggestion, and request me to immediately put this
rofom there, but did not eat there.
I think it would be a very good idea to tell Mr. Reed not to do so much talking when at Ogden, anyway.
Yours truly.
General Manager .

Dear Sir:-
I understand that at an interview on Saturday with Mess. Insull & Perry, that you ma/'some criticism as to Ihe delay in fin¬ ishing the New Miftl at Ogden. This is a criticism on me and my manage¬ ment which I do not think is at all deserved. I know that everything that was possible has been Sone to finish up matters at Ogden. I have worked every man that could possibly be worked to advantage, and I consider myself a sufficiently good judge of men to know that I have a superb organization at Ogden. I know fufcther that a great portion of the delay has been caxxsed by our not knowing until comparatively recently just what the belt machines were going to be, and this fact prevented me not only from ordering lumber for the separating build¬ ing, but also kept us from deciding on certain portions of the ma¬ chinery. When the new building was started, you certainly remember that no such belt machines as are how being built were thought of.
If the old machines with the few alterations we talked of at the time had gone in, we probably should have been to work tjy this time. But it was more than two months before we knew trhat machines were go¬ ing into the new mill.
In addition to this, you know that we have had an excedingly,

hard winter so far, and this has set us back somewhat. You may think the new mill is a simple matter, but I desire to tell you that it is nearly as much of a job as the other one.
I understand that you state that the belt machines will all be shipped by January 10th, I sincerely hope that this will prove to be the case.
The present condition of matters at Ogden about as
follows:-
New Engine House
Building (Stone) all complete^ engine and condensers all on foundation and almost connected and piped to Boiler House. Main line shaft all set, and wood base for dynamos now on foundations ready to receive them.
New Roll House
Building all complete/- rolls all set, and driving shafts iiy Screens all in *
with the exception of one. Screen driving shaft about re*§ y to be
put in. Conveying machinery there but not yet in. Hoppers, Feeders,
etc., yet to be built.
THOMAS A. EDISON, President,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania Concentrating Works,

T. A. Edison,
Separator House, -
Building all complete. Posts for belt machines will all be in tonight or tomorrow noon. Pillow blocks for the long lines are there and can be putxip at any moment we can spare millwrights from other work. Shafting for this house is all on its way from Schenecta¬ dy. Part of the conveying machinery is at Ogden, and all will be there in ten days. Vie can make fairly quick work of the machinery in this house, except the setting up of the belt machines, which may be a trifle slow.
Store House, -
Frame has been up for nearly two weeks but the weather has
prevented its being sided un. This however is only two or three days

Correspondence (1891)
This folder contains documents, primarily correspondence, dealing mainly with mining and milling operations at Ogden, New Jersey. The principal correspondents are Edison; Harry M. Livor, general manager until June 1891; P. F. Gildea, superintendent at the Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania plant and employed at other properties until June 1891; and William S. Perry, treasurer of the company. Some of the letters deal with the problem of ore in the tailings. Other items concern personnel changes and the company’s relations with its major ore purchasers, including the Bethlehem Iron Co. and Pennsylvania Steel Co. Approximately 50 percent of the documents have been filmed.

:eivcd this morning, the De Hart lease with three others, was received here for the first time late on Friday afternoon last from Messrs* Eaton & Lewis.
My attention was called to the forfeiture clause in the le Hart lease, and in turn the attention of ?,!r. Elliott was point¬ edly drawn to the matter when he called here on Monday of this week, coupled with tie request that he immediately consult with you on the subject.
As to when these four leases we re delivered to Messrs. Eaton- & Lewis by Mr. Elliott, I have no means of knowing; but I am sending the former a copy of your memorandum together with a copy of this letter asking them to communicate with you direct on the subject.
The enclosed li3t will I trust be a satisfactory reply vto tic concluding paragraph of your memorandum.
Yours truly,

My Rear Sir;- O*** ^ ^
I happened -to meet Mr. Cutting laat evening find Had A -hasty conversation with hirtf in regard, to • your separated ore, which he tells me you are npw, producing successfully and are now ready to ship. He asked me whether we could use itj I told him that we could $o- gfluat a price at the Pequest furnace, but I did not believe that '.-at the present price of Bessemer pig we drould afford to pay mbre than ‘sev&ii cent£ per unit, delivered at the furnace, -ft was then.wsuggested that your company should take the furnace at a rental on the ton- of pig iron produced,, or,, if preferred r that you should. supply the ore at cost and. we would run the furnace on. joint aoqount , dividing the profits if any. The matter is im¬ portant just now because if we make no arrangement with you, the ! 1
furnace will’ pe blown out in about four weeks. It is so uncommon
to be able to get -.a- furnace in good working order with competent management that it is a pi'ty that its operations should be dis¬ continued, It does not pay ,. however, to make common iron ,-,ahd" •'
(No. 2 T.A'.E. )
unless. Bessemer pig can be produced for less than $15 per ton, it will not pay to make it. I should be glad to have a conference on the subject with you or your agent , because it seems to me that some arrangement ought to be made to utilize both properties in connection with each other.

Dear Slr:-
I nave examined tne accounts of tne Ogden Iron Compa¬ ny as requested m your letter of tne 15th. • Inst, and report as follows.
I nave examined tne Cash Book from Jan. 1, 1887 to date and rind that very little business has ’been transacted, tne receipts during that time :belng principally *or wood sold .and some mine rents; and the .payments .principally taxes, wages of watchman and salaries. Tne .payments agree with the 'cancelled endorsed 'Checks, tne receipts with the deposits m the .bank .book and tne ; balance on hand agrees with tne :bank:book, :belng sl;x .hundred dollars and one cent.
I nave examined tne postings to the Ledger ' during the above men¬ tioned time and find them correct.' I :find the Ledger in .balance and enclose herewith a trial balance snowing how the accounts stand at this date.
I rind the Stock Ledger In .balance and enclose a list of Stock¬ holders as they stand on tne Ledger at this date.'
The only outstanding liabilities which appear on the ;'oooks are two $1616.13 due George Richards and $1527.06 due Henry u. ' vfilson.' These li¬ abilities I understand are to :be .paid out of the money received for the stock and the treasurer has made the following suggestion, which I think is a good one. If your company will advance him $2545.21 of the .pur¬ chase money for the stock, which you would ;be safe in doing, as more than half the stock has been surrendered to the treasurer already., this money together with what he has In ;bank would .pay off the two liabilities, and enable him to close all the accounts on his -books except Assets and Capi¬ tal Stock.'

I am very glad to hear that the Lackawanna Iron & Steel Co., like our ore. I trust they will give us an order on that.

TREASURER
[ENCLOSURE]
Extract from a Letter from P. P. Gildea,
Received, June 1, 1891.
" I have been around a good deal and things look encoura¬ ging around the Green, Wyawonda, Rutherford, Cary, Utter, Wallace and Sigler mines. These mines take in a circuit of about 8 miles.
I had to get my wagon fixed as you will see by the bill.
The roads are very rough, nearly all rocks. The iron district between the Green mine and Stockholm, nearly twelve miles, is very rich, but no Railroad to transport it. There is a line of stakes through the woods, driven, I understand, by the L. E. & W.
R. R., from Dutch Hollow, IT. Y. to Lake Hopatcong, N. J., right close to the iron veins."

We have aocomnodated you on the last three paynents by taking your four month note. The firat note we had d iscounts at our Bank and as we explained to you onoe before we had considerable difficulty in getting them discounted. The other two we have in our possession as we did not think it advisable to go to the Bank to ask them for a discount as your first note has. not yet become due#
As this is the case it will be impossible for us to take a note from you this month and we write you in advance to see if you cannot afrange it in sane way to let us have a oheok on the 15th.
We should like very much to accommodate you this month by taking your note if we thought you would ask ub to do so but we do not know that you would, and we simply write as above thinking that possibly you might do so.
We have some very heavy contracts on hand at present, and it has taken all our snail available cash to carry them along.

I am in receipt of yours of the 5th instant returning a copy of my letter to you of the 29th ultimo, in which Mr. Edison has inserted two additions.
The second addition that you are not to be called upon' to fill -the i: order1 if it is impossible for you to do so, is, of course, satisfactory to us, but before accepting the first addition, we would be glad to have Mr. Edison explain more fully what is meant by, if the ore "cannot be saved".
Awaiting your further advices regarding this.

Dear Sir:-
We are in receipt of yours of the 11th instant stating that Mr .Edison suggests the addition of the words, "in the dus.t machine" after the words, "and cannot be saved".
As the whole matter of the use of these concentrated ores is a new one to us, and as it will take some little time and experiment to deter¬ mine what percentage is lost.Mr.Eritz and Mr. Sayre both suggest that the whole matter be left open for future adjustment, when by trial we have determined what would be a fair proportion to deduct from the weight of the ore on account of said loss.
Trusting that this will meet your views, and assuring you that the subject will have our prompt attention, we are,
Yours truly,

Dear Sir:
Answering your favor of the 16th. instant we would say that we note your specifications regarding phosphorus, manganese &c., and we should be pleased to receive what information you have regarding the effeot of the different elements on which you have given us limits. You state that the phosphorus may be up to ‘.10. "*-£ Now, we could lower the phosphorus down to about .06 or ‘.06, and we'" would like to know how much effect suoh lowering would have and how much one of the other elements, say manganese or silicon, could be raised and still keep the total electrioal condition the same.
We will try to keep within your limits, but can make the phosphor^ somewhat lower without great expense if: your experiments show that" the phosphorus has much effeot.
Yours truly.

Prom the Centennial Mine, I orossed the Bare Ford mountains aid Greenwood Lake mountains, and on to Ringwood Minos which belongs to Hewitt, or Cooper & Hewitt. I followed the line of the G. W. Lac R. R. i looked over the Board Mine which joins Hewitts on the South at Muoroks. It looks pretty good bur confined by
the Ringwood property.
I cane to Midvale on the line of the Rail Road and visited the Blue Mine, found it good and extended in a H.H. direction for about 3 miles. There is about 25,000 tons of cobing and wastage on the .Bank of the Blue Mine, which I am sure will average 20 or 30//. I sent a description of this Mine to Mr. Edison and advised him to lease it soon, as I had an idea there were others after it.
On Monday and balance of week, I will look around Pomp ton and vicinity, and next week, if no further orders, I will go between Chester and High Bridge.

Dear Mr, Edison:

By goinr with Goodridge, under the excuse of paying this money to-day, Simpson can probably get a look at the said brief.

Dear Sir:-
I hav.e just had a long .conversation with the North Branch Steel 'Bo in r.egard to the use of your ore. .1 am glad to say that they have .promised to give me an order at your price, viz: $4.7.§ per gross ton, with a proviso that freight rate to Danville should not exceed $1.60 per giioss ton for D. L. & W. R. R. delivery at Danville as quoted by the Central R. R. Co. of N. J.., concerning which you wrote me in your letter of June 8, 1891.
The North Branch Steel 'Co. made two provisos in giving their order.
The first is that.in^as^you decide to lower the .price to any of your other customers, they will^^-on 'exactly the same 'basis, and their second .proviso is that they wild take 25$ of their requirements from you with the privilege that if they find the ore works satisfactory, they<&~'inerease to 50£ of their requirements, or as .much more as they could find that they could use to their advantage.
Both of these provisos seem entirely reasonable, and the second need not worry you at all, as the quantity they would consume would not in any way affect your deliveries to the Bethlehem Iron Co. They did not in¬
form me how much ore they would .purchase, but I presume they would take about 5000-10000 tons.
They told me that if I would call on them to-morrow, they would give me the order. Unfortunately, .1 am .called to Providence, R. ,1.., and .cannot post- .pone the trip. .1, therefore, wish you would telegraph .me at Narragansett Rouse, Providence, R~ I_ upon receipt of this letter whether the provisos which the North Branch people make are satisiaooory xo you. I will then wire them here and close the business . !
They v/>&s?a not call for any deliveries prior to January 1, 1892, so your j mill vkmi-H be in thorough working order by that time, and they would .make very j desirable .customers for you I feel sure. i
I named them a .price of $6.55 per gross ton D. L. & W. .R.1 R. tracks., j
Danville, Pa..' This is based on your price of $4.75 "per gross ton f.o.'b. [
.cars Ogden, N.J. with freight rate to Danville of $1.60 .per gross ton.

Dear Sir:-
I have your -valued favor of the 13/th inst., and am glad to note that my letter of acceptance to the North Branch Steel Co. fully met your views.
T am in receipt to-day of a letter from the North Branch Steel Go. in¬ acknowledgement of my letter, and they say my statements -are entirely cor-- . rect, except that I omitted to state that in case they have strikes at their works or by reason of occurrences there which they cannot now foresee they would be unable to take the ore, that we should not hold them responsible for any untaken portion of the contract.
This of course, is exactly the condition under which you sell the ore and should app}y to them as weld as to you. They also state that I have omitted to give them a full analyses of the ore/which they require.
J am not certain fhether you have had a complete analyst's made. If .so, I would: thank you to send it to me as soon as possible, and -if you have never had an analyses made, I would suggest that you have it done, as we may need it from time to time..
TflU i i/ctwC
They also remind me that you^would obtain for them data hs to the use of the ore from the Bethlehem Iron Co;, with what ores they could use it and in what proportion in the mix, etc.
I trust that you can give some information on this subject, which would be of-service to them.
I have received the two bags containing samples of your sand. .1 will take them at once to- Mr. Samuel and see if he can- make use of the material.
■I wish you would let me know just as soon as possible at what price you ' could deliver this sand in New York,and also at Philadelphia. j
Very truly yours, . |
P.S.If you have any forms of contracts covering sales of ore, I wish you

Thomas A. Edison Esq.,
Orange, New Jersey. Dear Sir:-
Mr. Conley seemed to think the 1500 tons of ore that we have in our stockhouse, being so high in phosphorus (.052) ••/"would be greatly in our way now that we are making good ore, and that we should get rid of it right off at any price.
I went yesterday to Philadelphia and sold it to the North Branch Steel Co. at $4.25 per ton, F.O.B. cars at Ogden, delivery commencing next Tuesday at the rate of 40 tons per day.
We had already offered it to the Bethlehem people but they said was so higi in phosphorus that they could not use it and we had better sell it if we could get any one who wanted it.
I have one share of the stock of this Company belonging to Jones Uilliken which he has declined to take. Kindly let me know i? ,yoft wish to take and have it transferred to you- ^ — '• —
I have Juathad Mr. Batchelor on the phone and he tells me they were 4uBt about to try the new dryer with 3ome wet ore and will let you know the result this afternoon.
T.A.E.

In case they do not let you know, I will send you word from here.

/ The Bethlehem Iron'^a-ZL_iJ
South Bethlehem. Pa. March 2ist, 1392'.
Mr, 0. J. Conley. Dear Sir:-
‘T^j f /'"J
I have before me Mr. Tate's letter to you of March 17th confirming a message telephoned to you by direction of Mr. Edison in which". Mr. Edison', asks you to obtain my opinion in reference to the amount of lime necessary to flux Bricked Ogden Ore".
I would reply to this by saying that the ore can be used in a blast furnace without mixing it with other ores. That no oxeess of lime is necessary " as a blanket". That only enough lime need be present to flux the small amount of gangue in the 70/ ore* to flux the ash of the fuel used, and that probably the amount of lime necessary to form the ore into a strong brick will be amply sufficient to theoretically flux the small amount of quartz and silicate of alumina present in the 70/ magnetite.
However, an excess of lime is in no way deleterious even up to 20/ by weight of the or e^ other than the fact that such excess if added to; the fino^ before making it up into bricks would naturally proportionally re¬ duce the percentage of iron in the brick itself.
It would hence seem best to use only enough lime to make the ore into a strong brick for the reason that the amount of fuel used will vary with the working of the furnace and the lime necessary to flux the ash
the Bethlehem iron co. To
2
of this fuel can be beat ai}d most cheaply added at the blast furnace in the form of limestone. Mr. Fritx endorses this opinion.
Yours truly
Head Chemist.

We will start it this P.M. with the #8 motor but have doubts as to sufficient power* if O.JE* we will experiment with dtes &c, and let yoit know result by wire tomorrow afternoon*
Mr. Perry writes me that you will be iere Monday afternoon ' -•or Tuesday morning*.
You will see that mill #3 is up to 300 tons of concentrates We have brusheson all the screens, but’' we kaveon 380 old worn out plates which keeps one screen out and with some of rolls which want new shells and the damp condition of the weather is ke keeping our out-put dorm. ...
Mill’ iM. made 935 tons yesterday, concentrate 46.%
We had a little shower here last evening, the lightening damaged our wires considerable^ *
•Had a slight fire in #1 engine room , the lightehing com¬ ing in- on bell wire and setting fire to one of therrafters* we had no trouble in putting it out and no damage done.
We find that our pumps are not much good for fire purposes We arft using soft coal and find that wecan get steam with it much better than with pea*
I have ordered 30 ton per day*
We will have grading donefor #3 stockho-use Wednesday of w»v next week.

Dear Sir:
Replying tp-^your letter of 1st inst, which has been sent to us by our Boston Hiuse, as trade in this seotion is more satisfactorily looked after from this store, we beg to say that our Mr. Elson expects to call upon you early next week (probably on Monday) in re¬ gard to the/Belts .which, you mention.’* We think that there will be some objections to making them in the way that you suggest, but that a. special Belt can be made, in a peculiar way? that will probably answer your purpose better than any you have heretofore had.'' Trust- f/that you will not do anything definite regarding the matter until Jing our Mr. Elson, we remain.

I was up at the mill yesterday and found most everything in very satisfactory condition but other things were not so satisfactory. Both mills were working very satisfactorily and yesterday we put into the stock house 20 tons of ore per hour and Mr. Conley was going to commence last night working two shifts night and day, which means that 350 to 375 tons per day will be made. The new stock house is finished so that we will have storage capacity for two months supply over and above what we are shipping to the Bethlehem Iron Co. which amounts to about 70 tons per day. The automatic mixer which Mr. Edison has invented is working very satisfactorily. The mixture is all right and the bricker is all right so that we can turn out 20 tons per hour of bricked ore, but the furnace which Mr. Edison has built is totally inadequate to diy anything

I hare seen the Engineer recommended by Mr. Henderson. I ■ think the man is all right, but Mr. Henderson has made arrange¬ ments with him at forty dollars per week. This is not in ac¬ cordance with your instructions. I have, however, made arrange¬ ments with the man to go to Ogden Wednesday morning. He is willing to go on a week's probation. If this arrangement is not satisfactory to you, please send instructions to W house at East Orange, and I will telegraph the man not to come to Ogden.

I have just received the following from Mr, Batchelor from Rome, Italy, dated Oct. 21st, "I got your cable about blue prints for the bricker and I also got one from Edison asking as follows: New York, 18th Oct., Edison to Batchelor; "Price confinhal machine very high; can you buy working drawings or patterns our use only; we understand price is^TOOO". I knew -the 'price was high, about 20 / per lb, and with Customs etc. it would be 30 £ per lb., an enormous price for machinery of such a .dlaos. i am trying to get th£ blue prints but I know it is
difficult to do so, I am also corrmuni eating now with Bietrix ^ maker and will let you know all about it as soon as I have ^ brMgit him to some kind of terms. If this reaches you before Edisprt^hears from me by cable or you, as I shall send to your office' |f. I get your oable address in next. Let him know that I got the message and am looking it up,"

If Mr. Batchelor sends a cable or a letter here about these things, I will inmediately forward to you. He writes that they are all very well but does not mention aiything about caning hane.

the -bricks* I think,
uch more favorable for blast furnace

Dear Sir:-
The following is an extract from a letter which 1 have just received from Mr, Batchelor in Rome.
"In regard to the Conffinhal bricker, I am in communication wi-th them at present and they tell me that the high price of their machine is because they pay a high price to the inventor. They - have a long list of their machines which they have sold,as you will "<T I .eee, at the back of Bietrix & Go’s catalogue and they assure me "that all have been sold without any dickering on the price, I have asked them to give me the price of the maohine separate from „ -the royalty as in case I should buy one, we dont want to pay duty . oft' royalty*, I am also in oomnunication with them in regard to the royalty to be paid on each maohine ftor if we were to make them ourselves for our system only as suggested by Mr, Edison and also •for. price df drawings (blue prints) and models (patterns). I cannot give you the figures as I have as yet not come to any arrangement tout hope to do so soon. In the meantime, I wish
2
you would look up the U. S. patent and see when it was taken out and how lone it has to run. The name is "Conffinhal" and in Wrench they oall it a machine a^ aeelomorer. We should call it a brick ine machine. The patent may be as far baok as 1878 and X am anxious to know."

Thomas A. Edison, Esq. ~ " — Id
Edison, N.J.
Dear sir:-
Foliowing our recent conversation, I take pleasure in enclosing analyses of all foreign ores which come to this coun¬ try, A few of them are of but little cornnercial value, as only occasional cargoes come out, some of which are sample lots, and, in a few cases, the mines are either exhausted or the ore so ex¬ pensive that it cannot be called merchantable. I also enclose a list showing the imports for the years 1890, 1891, and for the first half ot 1892, together with the ports of loading, which may be of interest. You will notice on this list that some of the ores are named after these ports, while others have entirely different names. I also enclose a list, briefly describing some of the ores, stating the purposes for which they are used, and also, in some cases, the parties who use them most largely. I do not weary you with extensive details, and have made the memorandum as brief as possible. Within a few days, I will send you similar data regarding Lake Superior and some prominent domestic ores, details of which I am now tabulating. We have in our office, samples of nearly ail of these ores. I am stall hoping that you will find time to give us the pleasure of the visit which you suggested, more carefully look over these samples and analyses; we will
J -To T. A. E. Esq. 2-
then be glad to furnish you with any additional data which you may desire, also to discuss with you the relative value of concentrates with these ores, together with the best size of bricks. Before you absolutely complete your arrangements, we would be glad if you could find it convenient to make up a moderate quantity of bricks which we can distribute among a number of furnaces, so as to get the views of the most practical men as to the most desirable size, and other conditions which mi$it possibly be of interest. How¬ ever, these questions can best be decided by an interview, and should you not find it convenient to come here, I will be glad to do myself the pleasure of another call at your works at any time you may indicate, forwarding you a large number of samples of various ores. Since our interview, we have discussed the ques¬ tion of bricks with several of our friends, and think we can give you some further data bearing upon the probable quantity that can besold in competition with other ores, together with price which can be obtained. We think there is room for some improvement in the rates of freight which you now have. They seem a little high as compared with other rates with which I am faniliar.
Hoping to have the pleasure of an early interview, either here or at Edison, I remain,
Yours very tiuly,
P;. T. 0.
To T. A. E. Esq. 2-
P. S. You will understand that the prices quoted are the prices of to-day or when last sales were made, or, in some cases, the estimated price which could be obtained to-day. At present ocean freights are exceedingly low, running from 7 to 8 shillings. Any advance in these rates, which advance is almost certain to come, would mean higher prices.

Cornwall Ore Banks. . V;
This property is owned by the Cornwall Ore Bank Co. j the stock of which is divided into 96 parts, and owned by the diff¬ erent Coleman and Grubb families. The largest individual holders are Robert H. Coleman and Ids sister, who control a trifle over one •ohird of the property. Many of the owners are also proprietors of furnaces, and, as such, they are entitled to receive ore from the Ore Bank Co. at a reduced rate, the quantity allotted to them being based on the amount of their holdings in the Ore Bank, and any ore which trley use in excess of their allotnent, they are obliged to pay full prices for. The usual price for selected or No. 1 ore to outsiders is equivalent to 21* of the price of No. 8 Cornwall pig iron at Lebanon, or say from $2.75 to $8.00 per ton, while the price to proprietors is 10* of the pri oe of No. 3 iron. There is anot-her grade of ore mined, which is called No. 2 or Run of the Min sb. This ore at times is exceedingly lean and quite unsatisfac¬ tory.
Sane years ago a disagreement arose between Robert H. Coleman and Vin. Coleman Freeman over a Railroad which the former had projected to give Lebanon a connection with the Pennsylvania Railroad. Hits road was built and resulted in a ooraplote breach between the two fanilies, and considerable litigation followed.
The capacity of the furnaces represented and owned by both these parties, each amount to 100,000 to 125,000 tons per annum, Cornwall ore being exclusively used, and in consequence of . the ill feeling whiqfr fras e^ted., tfry fraye always been strong

competitors in the market. At the present time, the Lackawanna Iron & Steel Oo., of Scranton is taking nearly the entire output of all the proprietors, on a percentage basis of the price of rails. Ibis basis is 64# of the price of rails f.o.b. at mill for No. 1,
2 and 3 Cornwall iron delivered at Scranton. In other woids, if rails are $30.00 per ton, the price obtained for the iron would be $16.20 at Scranton, which, with a freipjit of $1.15 from Lebanon, would nett $15.05 at Lebanon. Of course, if the Steel Co. is obliged to accept a lower price for rails, the Cornwall proprietors would receive less money proportionately.
Hie product of the Cornwall Ore Banks amounts to anywhere from 600,000 to 800,000 tons per annum, and the cost of mining is placed at between 20 and 30 cents. Hie following is a list tt owners in the Company who operate furnaces.
Robert H. Coleman. Five furnaces, as follows:- Cole- brook furnaces, Lebanon, 2 large itaoks. Cornwall Anthracite Fur¬ naces, 2 small stacks at Cornwall. Kmaus Furnace, Rmaus, one stack, medium else. Of these the two small furnaces at Cornwall are practically abandoned, being run only at rare intervals when there is an unusual demand for the iron.
William Coleman Freeman. Proprietor Bird Coleman Fur¬ naces, and North Cornwall Furnaces, 8 large stacks at Cornwall.
Also Robesonia Furnace, Robesonia, one large stack. Under a spe¬ cial arranganent the Robesonia furnace has a right to mine ore wi¬ thin a certain section of the ore barks at cost of raining, without

-8-
paying anything to the Ore Bark Co.
Coleman & Brook. 2 large stacks at Lebanon.
Chickies Iron Co., Chickies, 2 small stacks.
There is another furnace, owned by J. & E. Meily, at Tebanon, using Cornwall ore, but they are not proprietors, and consequently pay full prices for tie ore.
We estimate the total production of iron made from all Cornwall ores to be about 350,000 gross tons. Of course some of the furnace are idle fron time to time, and the usual production would not reach this figure. For a long time past very little ore has been sold to outsiders, on account of the unsatisfactory pre¬ paration of the ore, and the uncertainty as to whan would be re¬ ceived after making a purchase. Some concerns report hairing receivsd the ore running as low as 34# in metallic iron and in other shipments it would exceed 5Q*.

Edison, N. J,
% dear sir:-
Again referring to your favor of Jan. 3rd., I beg to state that we have carefully investigated the subject of the briquettes, and are quite well satisfied that if you cannot con¬ veniently increase the size, the fumaceraen would accept them, as per your sample, but if you can make them larger, it would be better. There is a natural disposition among fumacemeryi* like lumpy material, up to the size of say or three inches, but we
would not think it necessary to sacrifice anything else to bring this about, provided you keep above an inch. We presume that even if the diamater should not be increased, you could make them longer without any sacrifice of convenience, or expense, We have letter’s from some of our friends on the subject of this ore, which I will be glad to submit when I see you. We are more than ever convinced that we can market your product at good prices. We say very little however, on this subject, as we fully appreciate the wisdom of your wish to know the low water mark of price rather than to hear about sanguine expectations. We think, however, that, you would be more than satisfied with the prices which we could obtain.
It seems to be the universal opinion of the ablest furnacemen of our acquaintance that the briquette would not reach
-2- ‘St ¥. A. B«
the melting zone without disintegration. They think that the grind ing they would receive from the other ores and the fuel and stone, would have a tendency to break them up, and certainly they would disintegrate when the blast strikes them. No importance seems to be attached to the fact that they might remain intact, 'ibis, how¬ ever, would be very easily settled by experiment, and we are still hoping that you may be able to make up a few hundred tons which we can distribute to fumacemen whose reports would be valuable.
We also hope that you will send us a box of a few pounds, as we could- get numerous and valuable analyses made by various furnace companies who are interested in the matter. If you succeed in raising the standard, as you suggest, to 08* iron and phosjhoius not over .08, this material will have additional value for Bessemer purposes. 'Jhis will not be necessary in case you have to sacri¬ fice anything to accomplish it, as we propose, if favored with your business, to distribute it among ordinary furnaces, we having worked up of late considerable business in foreign ores with manu¬ facturers of ordinary kinds of iron, they mixing cheap, high phos¬ phorus ores and mill cinder, with high grade ores, and the result has been prwren to be very satisfactory. Consequently, even if any of your ore fall below the standard Bessaner limit, we would still have a large market at full prices.
The result of your experiments in the tube have been of much interest to some of our friends, and, we think, show that the briquettes will be most economical, so far as fuel and flux are concerned. This would be a very yaluable poipt, as economy in •
the blast furnace to-day, is most closely scrutinized, and any material presenting advantages effecting saving of fuel would be correspondingly appreciated and paid for,
I notice, with pleasure, that you hope to be able to call to see us, and I hope that you will give me notice a day or too in advance. If, however, we are to wait for this pleasure until you "get throuidi the rush at Ogden*, we will not have it very soon, and some day , when most convenient to you, I want to run over to Ogden again to see you, and to" talk over some of these matters. I am still awaiting your instructions as to whether we shall send you samples of the various ores, or whether you prefer to first look over all that we have, and then make your own selections. If you will be at Ogden all this week, I will come down on Friday or Saturday, as may best suit your convenience, or if you will kindly let me know, I will come at any other time you may appoint. I am going West for a few days early in Febru¬ ary, and therefore name rather an early day, but I can postpone my visit if you do not expect to be at Ogden, or if you will be too busy to see me. In the meantime, I beg to thanx you for your suggestion about giving us the sale of your material, and to ex¬ press my conviction that this would result not only to our benefit but to yours. We would certainly give your business the most care¬ ful and constant attention, and, our long experience and acquaint¬ anceships would enable us to market it to the best advantage.
I enclose quite a number of analyses of native ores. These I have selected as fair representatives of the various
ores now used in the Rast. It is not necessary, and I have thought quite undesirable to send you a very large number, as I rai^h't have done, simply for the effect of giving you apparently more dabk. 'Ihese ores represent all classes, and, to save .your time in rbVerr- ing to them, I have noted briefly in pencil, in concise form, ijbme infonnation about each one. Should there be any of them which are unknown to you, but about which you want specific information, I will be glad if you will sorb them out, and, when I see you, I will give you more exhaustive details. I will also state that these analyses are obtained from absolute knowledge as to the real character of the ores, and are not the fancy analyses fre¬ quently furnished by sellers. Ihese analyses are obtained from the books of consumers, and fairly represent the correct analyses. You will occasionally find two or three analyses of the same ore, which, however, you will understand are simply results of varia¬ tions in quality. I will also be glad, in case you want special information about any of the Lake or foreign ores, to have you set them aside, and I will go over them when I Bee you.
Awaiting .your reply as to the time when I shall call on you, I remain,
Yours very truly,

Samuel Insull Esq.
Care Chicago Edison Company,
139 Adams Street, Chicago, Ill.
PERSONAL
My dear Sam,
Your favor of Jan. 28th, as well as the one of Jan. 31st, is at hand.
You may be right in holding on to your stock in the Illuminating Co. of New York; certainly Mr. Skehan should be in a much better position to know about it than I am and I trust for your sake that you will not be running around kicking yourself in the course of a month or so for not taking a good profit.
I note what you say in regard to your land in Schenectady, and if you will fix a price, that is, if you decide to sell I will see Lieb.
You ask why it is that Butler is no longer Secretary of the Concentrating Works. Mr. Edison asked me the first of the year why I could not act as Secretary as well as Treasurer. I told him I could and he then said, well, take my proxy, get Cuttings, and at the Annual Meeting, elect yourself Secretary and Treasurer, and I did so. I think that Edison felt it was just as well to concentrate the office in one person, and besides that, Butler is, I believe, now very busy with the Phonograph Co.
In relation to your favor of Jan. 31st, I showed your letter to Colonel [???]lespie and he has written me a letter in answer stating that he appreciated your attention deeply and hoped that I would not fail to let him know when you are next in the city, as he would take great pleasure in calling upon you, and that he would certainly take your advice and not sell.
There is nothing new here. Edison is still out at the Works drawing up plans for his new machinery. I am satisfied that we will not be running again before the 1st of September, but Edison is still very sanguine and Batchelor also.
They are all well at 34th Street. Mrs. Perry asked me the other day to remember her to you the next time I wrote. Your very truly,

Dear sir:
We enclose letter received fran the Midvale Si^el Company, with analysis <f your "briquette. Which will dchb^less "be of interest to you. We are much pleased at the low percentage of manganese, "but presume that the determination of sulpjhvt* is incorrect; the lime also looks high to us as compared with other results. In this connection we enolose list of the various analyses of this ore whioh have "been made from time to time.
Should we receive others, we will forward them to you.
We have seen Mr. Joseph Wharton, and had quite an interview in regard to the briquettes. It was difficult for him to get away from the impression that it was his duty to endeavor to weaken our views as much as possible in regard to price, although we explained to him that we had not come with any idea of even nego¬ tiating a sale. He talked a good deal about the vast quantities of Cuban ore, and the low cost at which it could be produced, and mentioned in a seemingly incidental fashion that, of o curse, a mixture might be advisable, and that, possibly, the briquettes
-To T. A. E. 3-
could be used to advantage. We relieved his mind on this score, however, by saying that we did not want an order, and that we had really enough orders to take the early product of the mill, but explained that your plans were more far reaching than the immedi¬ ate present, and that you wanted to get at the conditions necessary to enable Eastern steel mills to do business, and that you would like to meet him, and anyone else ha might suggest, to talk these matters over. He finally said that he would see Mr. Linderman and try to arrays a day for visiting Edison with Mr. Linderman to meet you, to discuss the situation. We will advise you of anything further we hear in this matter. • We think that under the surface of their apparent indifference, the Bethlehem Company are deeply interested, but are afraid to manifest this interest, fearirg lest it may be construed as a possible pretext for our wanting a fair price for the ore. Since Mr. Fritz and Mr. Adams have left the Company, it is hard to nail anybody else down to business; in fact, they have so much ore, and are doing so little, that we could hardly expect much anxiety qn their part to talk business.
We, however, that these were the very conditions of
trade with which you were desirous of dealing, with the hope that by their co-operation the East could successfully compete with the West.
We had an interview to-day with Mr. Heckscher, and could have taken his order for immediate delivery of frcm 50 to 75 tens per day, at 8 ots. per unit, and he says that he hopes we will soon be
-To T. A. E. 3-
in shape to talk business.
The samples of round briquettes have arrived. We have sent one of them, as well as a section of the reduced briquette, to Mr. Wharton to show to Mr. Linderman.
Yours very truly,

Dear Sir:-
I am told by a friend of mine that you use a very large quantity of bituminous coal. If this is correct, I would like very much to have a share of your patronage. I will furni^i you our coal, to cost you not exceeding' $3.30 per ton and will guarantee it to give you perfect satisfaction or make you no charge. I will thank you very much if you will advise me what the situation is.

Dear sir:
We have been wcrkiig up ooal matters, ani have succeeded in getting a quotation for the same coal which you are receiving at Oraige, at $8.10, for Edison at the same price. We do not propose to let the natter rest even at this, and hope that by the time you are ready to start up, even a more fhvorable figure can be had. We are watching the matter closely, and should we see any indication of an advance, mil let you know.
We have also been lookirg into^anthraoite situation. One of the largest producers is tie Lehi^i Coal & Navigation Company, which is intimately associated with the Central Railroad Company of New Jersey. They tell us to-day that they are not certain whether their New York agent had taken up this matter with you, but that if he did not have the business in hand, they would be gLad to quote us very/low prioss. It is barely possible that by their reference of the matter to their New York agent, he may gp to you and see wlat he can do. Thenarket for the small sizes in anthra¬ cite is a variable one, aid we think that the best results oould be obtained by keeping in touch with several producers, and taking
advantage fran tiro to time of a glut in the market. We do not*' of course, wish to put you at any disadvantage in this natter; hut, on the contrary, want to woric for your best interest, and if you should now be approached by the agent of th e Company, we ro ul d be glad if you would tell him that you have taken up the natter through Philadelphia., We would be glad to give you the benefit of a laige part of the oomnission, as we do not care so much fo r the commiss¬ ion on the coal, our principal object being to get the coal
cheap, so as to cheapen the cost of production of briquettes.
You understand, of course, that any arrangement by whioh you as a oonsuner stould receive the benefit of our ©mission would have to be kept confidential.
Youis^very truly.

In a recent conversation with our Mr, Piling, you stated that you would like to dispose of about 1000 tens pf qpnepn- t-rate in the fine state, which you had on hand. We have talked with several of our furnace friends about this lot, and find them quite indifferent abcut purchasing it on account of its fineness. Mr. Cook of the Warwick Company oalled to-day, and said that he might he able to wo* it with his mixture at 5 ots. per unit delivered at Pottstown. He offers to take 200 tons as a sample, with privilege of balance, provided the results are satisfactory We hoped to have submitted you an offer of at least 54 cts., delivered, for this ore, and regret our inability to do so at this time. The volume of business generally seems to be a trifle better, but there is no indication of any improvement in prioes. Awaiting your further favors, we remain

Dear sir:
Mr. Cook called yesterday, and said that as the quantity of ccnoentrate we have is so small, it would hardly he worth his while to take it. We will therefore he obliged to let the matter rest, so far as he is ccncerned, for the present, and will erxieavor to place the 200 tens elsewhere.
We have letters fron several rolling mills, asking when your fix ore will he ready for market. When the time comes we propose to push this part of the busines s -vigirously, and, if the prepara¬ tion is satisfactory, we shouldbe able t o dispose of a consitter- ahle tonnage at better prices than we receive from furnaces.
Our Mr, Pilling is visiting Pittsburgh and Cleveland this week, for the purpose of picking up all possible information in regard to Lake ores, which he will communicate to you upon his return. The pig iron outlook with furnaces in Eastern Pennsyl¬ vania is still unsatisfactory; they all seemto be piling more or • less of their products.
Yours very truly,
question of briquettes. It is a matter of «f utmost importance to prevent them from tying up to the Cornwall people, as in times past they have used upwards of 20,000 tens per month of Cornwall ore, and are now negotiating for a two years ccntract, ard the difference between them is only a few cents per ten. The aim of the Company is to be in position to make pig iron at $10.00 per ton, and they saw no chance of doing this excepting by the use of Cornwall ore. We insisted that the use of briquettes would be at least, as favorable as Cornwall ore, explaining the conditions in their favor. Major Bent says that he will give us an out and out order for 100,000 tons of briquettes, at a price which will make the cost of the pig ircn not over $10.00. He i s ready to make a contract to this effect. This, of course, is not yet in tangible shape, but he says that we may consider it an absolute order, if to will take it on this basis. We have not merit, ion ed the ;
unit price of the briquette, but, if you are right in your estimate that the smelting can be done at $4.00 per ten, or even at $4.50 per ten, the briquettes could still be shipped there.
The cost of Connellsville coke at Steeltai is probably $2.60 per net ton of 2000 lbs. This is based on 85 ct. coke, and a freight of $1,75 to Steeltcn. The rate to Lebanon is $1,95, and to Schuyl¬ kill points $2.05, but we are under the impression that with the lowering in rates now going on, the rate on coke may also be reduced, which, of course, would be in your favor. The rate on ore from Port Oram to Steeltai is now 87 cts., which is equivalent to 97 cts. from Edison, provided we ship the minimum of 750 tens per day. It would prdrably not be prudent to make a contract until the cost of smelting can be ascertained. We .would be glad to have your views on thi s subj ect .
We have written Dr. Hartzell that you will sell the little track scale at $25.00, provided he can find it.
Yours very truly.

Dear sir:
We have had another conference with Major Bent, of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and he has decided not to contract even if price shall be made satisfactory for any large fixed quantity of Cornwall ore, nor fora long» period, so fjiat the field will be open for briquettes, if deliveries and prices oan be made satisfactory. We consider this decision of some import¬ ance, as, otherwise, the Steel Company might have been under con¬ tract for so much ore, that they would not have been in position to use briquettes, even on satisfactory terms.
We saw Mr. Wharton to-day, and he proposed goirg to Edison tomorrow to see you, in accordance with our previous invitation to him, but we told him that you would not be there this week, and that we brought in a month or so the visit would be more interest¬ ing to him, as the work would have prcgressed further, ard we thought you would be there a large portion of your time after the next week or two, and it is now arranged that after you gp to the mine, we will appoint a day convenient to you and Mr. Wharton, and arrange the visit. We infer that Mr, Wharton is more deeply
-To T. A. E. 2-
interested in briquettes than is apparent upon the surface. We think that while he is interested in Bethlehem, he is mow concern¬ ed for the moment in regard to Port Oram, which would be a favor¬ able point for making Bessemer Pig to ship to Bethlehem, or, in fact, to any other oon sumer.
Yours very truly.
P, S. When will you probably need another lot of bituminous coal at Edison? How soon will you be in shape to take up the question of a supply of anthracite? We have a special reascn for wantiig to receive the first order for these coals, even if the quantity is small.

Dear sir:
We are advised hy the South Mountain Mining h Iren Company, of Pine Grove Fumaoe, Cumberland County, Pa,, that they have f otwarded you two broken pigs of charcoal iron, one showing chill half inch in depth, and the other one inch in depth. This irai is somewhat lovrar in pries than that from the Salisbury district, but to do not think it is as strong. Your tests, however will soon prove these points.
In an interview to-day with Major Bent, of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, to find that his interest in briquettes is con¬ stantly increasing. He thoroughly appreciates the valuable results which will follow the success of your work, and says that if your plans shall be carried out, the East will have a new lease of life. We are much pleased wi+h his attitude, especially when contrasted with the position taken by some others who ought to co¬ operate with yon. He has taken up the matter vigirously with his practical people, and is now figuring on all sorts of mixtures, especially low grade ores, to use in connection with yours, upon +he supposition that the briquettes will be too good to use alone.
-To T. A. E, 2-
He has also consented to go to Edison to see you ard the works, at a time which will he mutually convenient, and will bo very glad to give you any information in his power which will be of interest or advantage. We could no doubt arrange for him to take one or two of his practical men with him. We are very much encouraged at the prospect of having a consumer of an oh size as a "back leg' for this would relieve us of all anxiety about any surplus, as they could use several hundred tons per day.
We have been following up the Wellman Iron & Steel Company.
Mr. Wellman, Superintendent of the works, was here yesterday. He says that their plant is as modern as any in the country, and cannot be surpassed in cheapness of product, provided the pig iron can be had on a proper basis. Their furnace with a 50# mixture on her last blast made 180 to 190 tons of pig iron per day, arid we think with your ore could run up to 250 or possibly 300 tons per day, and he says that if this can be done with pig iron at the c ost we estimate, it will solve the problem fo r them, at least, as they can run continuously to full capacity.
We will say to you confidentially, that we have just sold a very large block of pig iron to the Pennsylvania Steel Company, at a cost of less .than $11.50 delivered at tha r works. The i ren will be shipped frem the Shenango Valley, where we purcliased it at $9.70 per gross ton. Steel ton is using Cornwall iron in large quantities, whioh costs between $10,50 and $11,00, none as high as the latter figure. If with your ore they .can make pig at $10,00 to
-To T. A. E. 3-
$10.50, the problem will be solved for them, as the West could not knock them out on this basis. You will appreciate the fact of
having the big steel concerns as ccnsuners, as their requirements are, at least, equal to the combined capacity of all the other plants. Lackawanna will be the next one to fall in line. They would be interested now if their faith in the success of your enterprise was stronger, but. they say that wten we have the briquettes to offer, we will find than ready to talk business. We think briquettes will be on top when the time ©mes to commerce shipments.
We will confer with you later as to an appointment at your works with Major Bent.
Youpsvery truly,

Dear sir!
We have your favor of the aid. inst., ard saw Major Bent again to-day. He makes no attempt to disguise his interest in Briquettes, and will be prepared to run up to Ogden when a date can be fixed mutually convenient. He says he will take with him Mr. Feltcn, the Manager at Steeltcn, and possibly one or two others connected with the blast furnace department, and they will be prepared to furnish you with all necessary data, and will open out the whole matter to you, showing costs of fuel, labor &c., so that you can become familiar with the various details of cost. We, of course, understand that they must take the smelting risks, as it would not be to your advantage to go in on any other basis than an out and out sale of the ore at an agreed upon price. We have in mind. the possibility of a sliding scale, under which you would furnish the ora at a percentage of the narket price of pig iron, but it -is premature at this time to discuss this. At any rate, we are well satisfied with the position, of affairs to-day, so far as this Company is concerned.
We had a talk to-day with the President of the Pottsville
-To T. A. E. 2-
Iron k Steel Company, This concern has an admirable location so far as coal is concerned, the present cost at furnace being about $1.90 per gross ton. On their last blast, their average consump¬ tion of fuel was 1 ton 2 cwt. per ten of iren, and the fuel average 97 /{ anthracite. He stated that the labor, supplies and repairs would not exceed $2.00 per ton. The limestone with your ore would oertainly not exceed 25 ots,, and the fuel would, certain¬ ly be less than a ton, so that even at 6 cts. per unit, we estimate that Bessemer iron could be made at Pottsville at not over $10,00. This furnace is an ordinary old fashioned, but fairly equipped furnace, with iron stoves and no special advantages of any kind.
If such furnaces as this can be put in blast and work to compete with our Western furnaces, it will not take long to revive the iron trade in this section, and put it in position to hold its own.
For your information, we would state that the price of Connellsville coke is now frem 85 to 90 cts., and the freight to Harrisburg $1.75, all per net ten. Their limestene is very cheap, as they get it frem an enormous quarry situated very close to their works. We should suppose that 40 to 50 ots.per ton would cover the cost. So far as furnaces are concern, they have four, two of which are thoroughly modem; one is almost modernized, and the fourth, although not quite so good is still above the average. All have fire-brick stoves, so that ihe plant as a whole has favorable conditions under which to work. We understand, however, that ,o„ have eeeh the pl^hd^S^are

Dear sir!
Pres.-Orarge, N, J,
We have just had quite a lorg conversation with the President of the Thomas Iron Company , arft it seems that, he met, Mr. Wharton yesterday, and tells us that Mr. Wharton is very much interested in briquettes, and says that the successful operation of your mill will work an entire change in the Eastern iron trade.
This oonfirms what we have heard fran other sarrces, ard wa think that Mr. Wharton's interest in briquettes means the ultimate capturing of the Bethlehem business. Mr. Fackenthal himself has also becone interested in them, and when we said to-day that we could deliver them at Hokendauqua at 5i cts., he was very willing to talk about the matter, and says that he will go up to Ogden whenever we appoint a time. While we naturally want to interest all oust oners, we are more anxious to get Mr. Fackenthal interested on account of the influence the action of the Thomas Company will have on other furnaces, and as they control themselves eleven furnaces, and are unquestionably good, they may form no unimpor¬ tant customer later on. We now commence to see the probable return of the missionary work which has been done for the past
from
-To T. A. E. fr¬ y-ear or two, and have no hesitation now in saying that we can market the product fran the very start. There has been another reduction injoa^of Jersey magnetites, but, after careful con¬ sideration, we believe that this will work to your benefit, rather than form an element of competition. We fully believe that, especially at the start, furnaces will buy cheap (or apparently cheap) ores as a mixture, and possibly it is best that this should be the case, until you can inorease your output sufficently to crowd out these other ores.
We think it prudent to wait until you are almost ready to start before bringing prominent furnacemen up to Ogden, as their interest will increase when they see the plant ready, to 'run. In answer to numerous inquiries, we have stated that you will probably be ready to ship briquettes in May. Is this correct?
Yours very truly,

P, S. Mr. Faokenthal admitted that with briquettes at the pricB mentioned, there would be no difficulty in making Bessemer ircn in the Lehigh Valley at not over $10.00 per ten. The Thomas Company is perhaps the- only one in the Valley which works on anthracite exclusively.

Dear sir:
j Mr. Neilson, of High Bridge, was here to-day, and in
talkirg about the moulds of the brickii^ machine, we stated that you seemed to find that the briquettes adhered to steel more close¬ ly than to iron, and that for this reason you were experimenting with chilled iron in place of steel, Mr. Neils cn said that if this was due to the magnetization of the steel, you could overcome it by the use of manganese steel, as the latter acts precisely like iron, and is entirely different in its qualities from ordinary steel. We do not know whether you lave already discovered this or not, but thought best to write you. Mr, Neils cn is ready to go up to Ediscn at any time, and is quite interested in the plant, and would like to look at it, and, at the same time, will be prepared to answer any inquiries in regard to the manufacture of either Bessemer or Open Hearth Steel. He was, as you know.
Manager of the Wellman Company fo r some time. The pig ircn shipped you by Mr. Neilson from High Bridge, was Sharon, of the Salisbury district, _

Dear sir: ’
As a matter of information, ws beg to submit to you.-thbjp-v'’ enclosed list of freight rates from Port Henry, N, Y., to various y . Eastern fUmaces. The present price of Port Henry Ore to fb maces' is $1,90, less 15 cts. for cash. The latter condition, howver , is;;,. not adhered to, and any buyer can get it at $1.75. You m 11 V notice therefore that the cost delivered in the Lehigh Valle y would be $3.15, and in the Schuylkill district from $3,45 to $3.80 '
according to location. These prices ^Eao=apply to cargo lots, being applicable to water shipments to New York tidewater, and . thence by rail. It is quite evident that after you are in ppsi-? tion to ship briquettes Port Henry will not be "in it." You will, also observe that, ®*»n to secure Port Henry at these prices, it must be taken in durirg season of open water navigation, which, course, is an additional disadvantage. 'r " ? ‘ .
Yours very truly, ,

Hear sir:
We have your favor of the 89th. inst. , We are not in position to quota you on Lake Superior ox's, as wo have no arrange¬ ments this season for selling this grade of ore , in viaw o’" the fact that we shortly expect to offer briquattos. Wo can say at, this time , ho sever, that when the briquettes are ready, which will be during the present season, to will undertake to deliver thorn to Port Oram at a less price per unit than you can purchase lake ores, and as to consider the quality much superior, it would seem to us that; the advantages to be derived from; their use are greater than' from the use of Lake Superior ores. The hr'iquettae will be pro¬ duced in moderate quantities during the Summer., ■ but bof o."e the closo of,: the year, in quantities sufficont,’ wo think, to supply all near by fumeces.
You rs very truly,
% dear Mr. Hallo ry:-
• .}■ I beg leave to ask .^rouif you are r furnish ore regularly to the ''furnaces/ this inquiry.' is prompted by the situation; alls-the ore in sight/for this yearns delivery has been sold, and there are quite a numb’eyof blast furnac.es in the country about to start up,3but I believe/ihey are having a great deal of diffi¬ culty in obtaining^the ore- necessarjr to run them; pne in point is the Moorhead-McCleane plant in thi4 city which has Just been bought by Cleveland and Pittsburgh parties, and 'this is the only drawback to putting it into immediate operation. If\you have the Bulletin of the American Iron & Steel Association, you will see in last week's issue a list of the furnaces about ready to start;\if. you do not have this, and are ready to supply ore, so that it would. be of any value to you, let me know, and I jwi'll send you-copy of the information; I hope you are in shape to take advantage of the situation and turn out a big product.

November 26th,1895,
James 0. Parrish, Esq., ,
New York City.
Dear Sir:-
Referring to our various conversations, I beg to state that the situation of the business of the Ore Concentrating Works, is as follows:
I have made a furnace which accomplishes all that is neces¬ sary to produce briquettes from the fine ore. As you are aware the furnace made some months ago proved imperfect, owing to the improper, distribution of the heat, this difficulty has been successfully over¬ come. I wish to put up six more ovens, which would give me the necee sary capacity for-.. turning out about 300 tons of bricquettes per day. It would require about 60 working days for me to start the Crushing Machinery, and produce 300 tons of fine ore daily. The expense of doing this would be about $14,000. The expense of constructing the ovens would be from $6,000. to $8,000. more. The ore ..in.:the form of bricquettes would be worth,I think, a dollar a ton mo refin the fine condition. I should like to have sufficient money to do both of these things. I have about 2,800 tons of fine ore on hand, which I have been holding for the purpose of turning into bricquettes, as agreed with you in the contract made in the spring of this year. I am prepared to go on with the crushing, if the money is furnished, and leave the question of the ovens until the practical result of the crushing and sale of ore is demonstrated. As you know, I do not wish to do this, as it seems to me a clear los3 of a dollar a ton. It is at your suggestion that I express my willingness to do this, if you and your friends are not disposed to furnish the money to construct the six ovens, and are willing to furAish the money to start up the
( 2 )
crushing.
The cost of the fine ore is about §2.60 a ton. Its value is about $3.20. The sale is limited to the amount of fine ore which the furnace can use. The cost '.of making the bricquettes is 35 cents a ton, which would bring up the cost of crushing and bricquetting to $2.90 a ton. There is an unlimited sale for bricquettes at about
$4.50 a ton. It would seem to me very unwise to run the crushing mill without at the same time making bricquettes. The additional amount of . money required to make bricquettes being about $8,000.. With’ the money to make the ovens, as well as the money to start the crushing,! would have a complete scheme.which would give a profit,
I believe, of between $400. and $500. a day. My willingness -te- to run the crushing machinery without completing the bricquettes is to show you my desire to do whatever those who will furnish the money wish me to do. I think, it would be, however, a great mistake to do the work by halves. I should have money sufficient to do both — say $22,000. to $25,000. The bricquettes could be sold for cash, and the only further money required would be to pay the wages from month to month, which payments the sale of ore should provide.
The cost of running the oven which is now constructed would be nearly as great as running the seven. If you or your friends have any doubt of the success of the present bricquette plant, I will run that one oven, which produces about thirty tons of ore a day, and deliver the bricquettes to a suitable furnace, and get their report. The diff iculty, however, in the way of doing this is the im¬ portance of my keeping together my mechanics and workmen, and to do
( zy
this i require the money to pay them their monthly wages. There is really no satisfactory solution to my mind other than providing the money to complete the ovens and run the crusher.
Any expert that you desire to send to confirm all r have said, would r am sure be convinced of the soundness of all my state-

ms all Oemmimlcf.tloDs to JOSEPH Proprietor
EDV/ARD KELLY, Manager, wharton blast furnace,
THE PRESENT SITUATION OF MR, EDl80N*iS UNPEHTAKINO IS AS F0IA0W8:
' The machinery and everythin*; necessary to the successful
■working of the plant is all in place, and can be started in forty days.
Mr. Edison has invested of his own money §1 , 250 , 000 . in the plant .
The late Robert Cutting invested $225,000. Further sums have been in¬ vested by tho aids and assistants of Mr. Edison. About throe years ago the v/orks wore run, and produced 35,000 tons, which was mostly sold to the Bethlehem Iron Company. The ore at that time was too fine to fulfill the necessary conditions; since them machinery has been added which makes it into briquettes, and the, capacity of the mill ha3 boon increased from 1,000 to 5,000 tons per day , Five carloads of these briquettes have been made and sont to different Iron works, and wore roported as satisfactory. The object now 13 to obtain §250, 000., of v*hioh §50,000. is required at once for tho incidental expenses of re¬ suming operations. The entire debts of tho company are about §13,000 Mr. Edison has tho means at hand to cover this amount, and mako tho financial condition of tho company perfectly clean on the 1st of June.
The cost of the briquettes, ineludinp; all expenses that Mr. Edison is able to foresee, is §1.44 a ton. The only unknown factor is the wear and tear of the machinery. The Company owns an unlimited supply of magnetic ores. §3.40 per ton is offered for the briquettes delivered
on the oars at the Company’s mill. The analysis of tho ore shows 68^ of puro iron, and 38/1000 phosphorus. The mill is able to turn out 1300 tons per day, when running at full capacity. Hence producing the oro at §1.44 and selling it at §3.40, would yield a profit of §1.96 per ton, or on 1300 tons §2, 548 . per day. Those figures may seem extravagant, they are, however, tho result of a careful analysis of every expense and contingency connected with tho undertaking; and Mr. Edison lias not boon able to find any reason, offerod by others or suggested by himself, that 7/ill prevent the result, as above given, being obtained.
The death of Mr. cutting.and the panic of »93, threw tho entire financil responsibility on Mr. Edison’s shoulders. js now prepared to re¬
ceive subscriptions for tho §250,000. ,whioh He thinks it advisable to
( a )
to havo in Hand bn fore opening the works. Of, this amount only ,>50,000. Is at present needed . This Mite oil?, put tivn mill in operation, and procliioo about 400 tone a day of briquettes, which is about the capacity of tho car and raining appliances ana briquette machines now in j^lanta. Tho remining $200,000. will be civil:;',:, after the mill has proved its successful working, on the basis of about 400 tons a day. The property of the oompany, consisting, besides the plant, of six square miles of magnetic land in ono body, and various other properties, consisting in part of 14b leases, with option of purohaso,is entirely froo from all mortgages or encumbrancoa,or contracts. Evory dollar that has gone into tho undertaking has been put in solely for tho benefit of the com¬ pany. Tlvc undertaking in financially clean.

Correspondence (1896)
This folder contains documents, primarily correspondence, relating to equipment and supplies for the Ogden works. Most of the letters are to or from Walter S. Mallory, vice president. Other letters are to or from Emil Herter, draftsman, and Owen J. Conley, superintendent. Some of the letters concern machine shop work, changes to the elevator, and outfitting the bricking plant. Two letters by Edison pertain to his approval of a bid for work and his schedule at Sagamore Lake. Also included are correspondence with stockholder C. Livingston Rogers and a letter by Thomas A. Edison, Jr. Approximately 20 percent of the documents have been filmed.

Dear sir: \
You 11
r remember that some tine ago I visited your
very interesting Works with Mr. Henry A. Jones, who was inter¬ ested, in a Direct Steel Process,, and that we together went over some of the details of thfe Prooess with you. I then spoke of writing up you* plant for London "Engineering" and have since had some correspondence with your offioe on this
I shall he glad ifVyou will make a point of letting me know directly you are /in a position to give out information, so that 1 may have time /to prepare a very full account to send to Mr. Dredge, with time enough to ''enable him to prepare his oopy and illustrations'' in the very effective way lie always oarries out those details . His hking in London would
necessitate a little/more time than would !be necessary for working up ouch an article for publication here, particularly as they do no.tput r[o much work into what they publish .
You will have heard, I believe, from Mr. Jones, that they are proceeding with an experimental plant. I am aoting as Consulting Engineer for them, taking oare of the details, so far as they relate to the superstructure, but being in no

way responsible* for 'th'e preotioal steal work or tho metallurgical details,-1 ‘ l’his' plant oannot hut he of interest to you and ypur -Company, and when things have progressed' a little further,
1 should like to show you the plans that have been prepared, and just what -we are doing.
She other day I saw a roller hearing in tho city, that was of interest. It was being used for large shafts and oar wheels. Shero are two sets of rollers, and a spacing ring, and there is no rubbing of surfaces,** the rollers being triangulated in such a way that the stresses were very evenly distributed. One of tho points being made is that no luhrioant at all is neoessary. Ono of these hearings was run in powdered emery for a very long time, and no had effeot was produced on the hearing, the powder or dust simply working into the oentre of the largo rollers which were made of pipe.
Knowing that you have so much dust to deal with, it occurred to me that this might interest you.
I am, dear Sir
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sirs: \ /
Your favor of the 16th Inst,' duly oarae to hand, for
i:.y be3t thanks;
‘ \ /
I note that you do, not expect to he ready imtll the spring, and shall then hope'Vto hear from you so that 1 oan have time to prepare the article.
With regard to the Roller Beraing mentioned before,
I feel quite sure that this woulcl prove of considerable assistance to you, and would pay that the Bearing is the property of the Church Roller Berairig Co., Havemeyer Building New York City. Patents were taken out by Church & Edwards July 10,1894, Patent number 692648. \x
They have a full / sized bearing t}\at lias been working for some time, fixed in/their office, and if you will write me, making an appointment for one of your Engineers, I will then arrange that Dr. /Edwards be on hand to show and explain everything. j
They are prepared to make arrangements with you for the use of the/bearings on your plant, and to supply drawings for the Afferent sizes.
Apart from the fact that no lubrioant is neoessary, the oonstruotion of the bearing is such that the stresses

As the material to bq^pemented has considerable value, owing to its gold contents, and a's iiVwould be quite possible to obtain ferrous oxide to mix with the charge, I would like to know, under such circumstances, whether you think it would be profitable to use it, and also at the satae time about ''wlrat percentage of the ferrous oxide you would cona/ider necessary to incorporate in the charge, in order to obtain ilie best results? Of\course you under¬ stand that it would not be/necessary, in this case, that the bri¬ quettes should be anything' like as hard aB the ones youXare m*ing. They would not have to be transported at all, and would only have to withstand the ordinary abrasion in the works themselves and dur¬ ing ttheir charging into the furnace. I think considerable bust-

't’h» Worth Araerioan Chwiioal. Co. In the attempt by its stockholders to adjust its affairs to u final settlement which wuld provide for a ’ continuance of its business, is confronted by the large indebtedness of over forty thousand dollars. Jf this cun bo removed, funds may be secured sufficient to continue the operation of the company's works without fear of its being hamper,- otl by want of sufficient capital. f:
It is therefore proposed that the credi tors accept in payment for their ola ims , , •$$£ cumulative preferred stock of the company at par, the preference extending to assets on final dis¬ tributions as well as to dividends, if the r anoval of this debt cannot be accomplished in all probability the Court will order an immediate sale of the company's property and assets, which as you are aware will yield the creditors very little after the payment Of legal expenses , Receivers charges and preferred claims. This can be readily understood upon the states ait that the apparatus other than engines and boilers, cannot be used for any other pur¬ pose: and that the flues, mostly brick, are not removable. The writer, representing the oempany, would like to have you write him in regard to the acceptance of this proposition. Your acceptance will not bind you unless 78# in amount of the creditors likewise accept. An immediate reply to this is absolutely necessary.

Gentlemen: /
Mr. Mallory's favor of yesterday at hana and contents noted. These are very trying times aho we regretted to ha»e to ask yon for the remittance as we aid , but.

Your letter of 2nd is' c came in by express today.
Manganese steel, as you probably are well aware, is t hard metal in the sense that it resistsXwear better' than any other alloy. It, however, is also' Yeryh tough 'and' quite ductile, .so much so, in gact, that it would not hold a sliarp edge, and we judge from the model that you wish to maintain a sMrp edge on one end of the mold. Manganese steel" castings are roug heir than ordinary castings, but can be ground to a very smooth surface by a consid¬ erable expenditure of time and labor , whi ch wo ul d , i'n this case, make the molds quite expensive. We can get up a few sample cast¬ ings, if youwoild like to experiment on/ them, ; but thirikNlt would

Copy of letter from "Crane Iron- Tories- Catasauqua, Fa>!
Thos . A. -Edison,
Orange , New Jersey. :
Dear Sir
X beg herev/ith to submit a preliminary report. in relation to the working of your briquettes in one of our ..furnaces at Catasauqua.
We commenced charging the briquettes in the proportion of 25# of our mixture, and gradually increased this percentage until we used them' ex¬ clusively. During the period of the test, no charge was made in the ordinary routine of the furnace, excepting such as became necessary ow¬ ing to the increased yield due to briquettes. Prior to their use, the furnace, with our ordinary mixture, had been producing from 100 to ilO
tons* per day. The yield gradually increased in proportion- to the quan¬ tity of briquettes used, until the yield reached 1381/2 tons per day, an increase of fully 33$.. As soon as this result, was, reached , the briquettes were exhausted, so that I am unable to say how much the out¬ put might have been still further increased. I am, however, of the opinion that after a longer experience, we could probably increase the yield still further, say up to 50$.
We found that the quality of the iron steadily improved in proportion to the quantity of briquettes used. The iron made from all briquettes showed unusual strength, and was, in fact, the strongest and
-2-
toughest foundry iron we have ever made. Considered chemically, the iron could not be better, as the purity of the briquettes enabled us to make an iron very low in phosphorous and sulphur. For Bessemer Pig, the ore is an ideal one, as a furnace would make a large product, and the iron would be of the best Bessemer quality.
Owing to the regularity of briquettes both physically and chemically, the furnace using them would be likely to work with more uniform regularity than is now customary, and I think that we would have less of the ordinary derangements which are largely due to irregular quality of our present ore mixtures, especially where we have to mix several ores together to get the desired result.
Another advantage in the use of your briquettes is that with the same amount of fuel , we can smelt a larger quantity of ore, and the saving in fuel during the period when all briquettes used was not less than 50 cts. per ton. The limestone showed a reduction from SO <f° to 12/o of the ore charge, thus effecting a saving of 14 cts. per ton of iron made. The increased output due to the richness of briquettes and their ease of reduction, effected a saving of labor due to the fact that practically the same number of men handled a larger furnace yield. This saving of labor amounted to between 15 and 20 cts. per ton of iron pro¬ duced. After very careful consideration we are satisfied that with a continuous run of briquettes in the furnace, we would effect a saving in smelting cost of not less than 75 cents per ton, as compared with our present mixture .
Owing to the peculiar characteristics of the briquettes, due to their porosity, it is quite possible that Eastern furnaces in using them will be able to use a smaller proportion of coke and a correspond¬ ing increase in anthracite coal, and perhaps all anthracite. This
wouacI effect a still further saving in cost of fuel, as the price of anthracite is only about three-quarters the price of coke.
Perhaps one of the most important advantages to be gained by the use of briquettes is that the yield of a blast furnace will be materially increased. It seems quite fair to assume that the average yield can be increased from 35 to 50$, and any profit, therefor, would be realized upon this increased product, without an increase in cost of plant. As an average blast furnace and equipment costs several hund¬ red thousand dollars, it would be quite a material saving of capital and interest on investment if we could get from two furnaces by using bri¬ quettes the same yield which ordinarily would be produced from three furnaces using present ore mixture .
It is somewhat difficult to give exact daily output of a furn¬ ace, as the casts are made four or five hours apart, so that sometimes six casts might be made within twenty-four hours, and other days only five casts. You will observe, therefore, that a difference of half an hour might throw a cast into the next succeeding day, although most of the work would have been done in the furnace the day before . This will explain the apparent irregularity of the following figures:-

5 P. M . , the briquettes having been nearly exhausted, the percentage was dropped to 25^ and on the 10th, the output dropped to 120 tons, and on the 11th, the furnace had resumed her usual work on our regular standard ores. Prom the time that the 25 % of briquettes came down, the iron gradually increased in strength, and as above stated, also improved in chemical analysis , and, taken as a whole , it is the most satisfactory ore we have ever had at Catasauqua, and we trust that you will soon be able to give us a large and regular supply of what we consider to be a most valuable addition to the Eastern ore supply. As the object at which wo aim ;is to make good and cheap iron, we can afford to pay you • a good price for this material, hoping to offset any increased cost of ore by a reduction in cost of fuel, limestone, and labor, and an increase in our product.
I write you this fully and frankly because I consider thut our interests are identical. ’<Ve are anxious to have the ore, and we ap¬ preciate its importance and desirable qualities, and I hope that you will soon be in position to furnish us with plenty of it, and I knot that our neighbors are also quite anxious to get it. I have never seen as much interest in any furnace experiment as was ■ .manifested while we were us¬ ing the briquettes. Nearly all the furnace men in the East visited Catasauqua and expressed their satisfaction at the working of the ore, and the prospective addition of briquettes to their source of supply.
I feel quite sure that you will have no trouble in marketing all you can make .
Yours very truly,
Leonard Peckitt,
President .

My Dear Sir:
We hma been much interest^ in your reconi communica¬ tions, and are very glad indeed tliat you have such faith in the future. If you can afford to he cheerful, it should he oasy for the rest of tho trade. The writer hopes to spend next Tuesday with you at Edison. If you will not ho there on that day, will you kindly advise. We will than talk matters over, and no doubt your philosophy and faith will be an inspiration, 'We are not, however, oast down nor discouraged; we have full faith in the ultimate prosperity of tho iron trade, the only question being as to which section shall come out ahead, ;
We await with much interest the sample briquettes about which Mr. Mallory writes, and hope to have some briquettes to show you made from your ore by an enthusiast here. He brought us in some boautiful samples, weighing. about an ounce apieee, which he says • contain but 12 lbs. of binder (a deadsocrot) and cost but 20 to 80 cts. per ton of concentrate. He too so much afraid that you would find out what he used, that he took than away again, and if we camot recapture them, to hope to have spine made from other
Thanking you for yoitr

’ 1 The roof of th^ Power House is practically

The holes for the 1* mesh set of rolls are are
. they hope to complete the
up and the bottom roll is in plao machine to-morrow or day after. \
The shafting fov the turning\>ff mechanism will be ready to go to-morrow moaning. T hav0 talked again with Ward ^regarding, the 'maehirri work on the mouldV wheel castings and he is still of +-he option that it is neccossar* to go over them twice to prevent /pringing. He says the fact that the holes are cast Bdid does not make any material difference.
On my way up it occurred to me that if you could arrange to have the 4arge lathe run from 7 o'clock in the morning until 12 at night , making 16 hours per day and have tow men on it each working S hours., this would be a gain of considerable in time.

The model shaft for mould wl\eel was shipp-ed to Orange to-day by express from Pittsburg. \
On the oil tank's, I have riot as yet succeeded in getting just what wo want and the tanks that I have found are old and rusty and more (jr less dirty, so to-day I have asked bids on new tanks from , Tippett & Wood, Dover Boiler Works, and Sharon Boiler Works. Do you think we run any risk of dirt get¬ ting into the bearings in case we buy old tanks.
I herewith enclose Mr. Conley report of the Silver spring mine work.

I have succeeded in making a trade with Worthington for a compound pump, but will not get it dntil about August 1st. but have arranged with Dennis to put in one of the pumps , now as in Babcock boiler room, which with an injector will keep us

Gentlemen; =
We are in receipt of your bill dated the 21st, amounting to $25.10 and would say that there must be some mistake in the amounts charged for fixing up castings #2158,9 and 65, as we had a talk over the phone and wrote Mr.Mallory on the I5th,July, and received his reply dated the I6th, July that while we agreed to allow you to fix the casting instead of having them returned to us we did so with the understand that the cost would not be over six or eight dollars, if more than this we would be able to do it ourselves, we asked Mr.Mallory over the phone to give us. an es¬ timate of the cost and he replied that while he could not do this that he did not think the cost would be much over this amount if any, that you would only charge us under the circumstances the actual wages paid your men, and if you did this it must have taken a very long time to fix up each set of castings, as when you made report to us we found that some of the sets would only require a little work to correct the error and others would require a little more time, at the rate you charge us for the four¬ teen sets it would take over seven hours to fix each set of castings, this we think outrageous and had we of know that your men would have taken so long and it cost us so much we would have had them returned as the freight both ways would only have amounted to a small part of the charge you make — tS-f'.oiv.doinK the _wor_k_ &P.4 to

We do not know what you pay your men but we do not suppose any more than we pay ours, from 20/ per hour to 25/ according to the ability and quickness of the man, and we do know that the one casting we did not ship you before the error was discovered did not take us over two and one half hours to fix oorreot, you will if you look up your report to us find that when we shipped you the fourteen sets of castings that you reported one set O.K. and several others in such condition that the time to fix O.IC. would be very little. Please look over the matter and see if you have not made a charge against us at a rate of about 75/ per hour and if you cannot make a reduction.

Correspondence (1898)
This folder contains documents, primarily correspondence, relating to activities, equipment, and improvements at the Ogden works. Most of the letters are from Fred R. Andress and Cal Freid, superintendents, to Edison concerning daily activities and improvements at the Ogden works. Some letters concern the quality of briquettes and the development of a market for Edison’s crushing technology, including its promotion by Frank C. Roberts, civil engineer of Philadelphia, and its adoption by the New Jersey Zinc Co. of Franklin, New Jersey. There are several items in Edison’s hand relating to personnel matters, experiments, and lease negotiations. Included is a letter from Edison to Thomas Robins, Jr., president of the Robins Conveying Belt Co. in New York City, regarding the duplication of 36-inch rolls and Edison’s intention "to design a whole line of milling machineiy for sale." Other correspondents include geologist and mineralogist Henry C. Demming of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and metallurgist Robert H. Richards of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Some of the material may be partially or completely illegible due to light and faded ink and discolored paper. Approximately 30 percent of the documents have been filmed.

HARRISBURG. PA.
Jamary 17, 1898,
Hon. Thomas A. Edison, Edison,
Sussex Co,, N, J. Ky Dear Sir;
I hand you herewith a more couplets list of species of minerals found on your properties in and in the viP.inity of Edison, N, J, You will observe that the most important elements to you are ‘mentioned in connection with each mineral, and the average per cent.
ilt was quite a surprise to me to find corundum
your
property. 1 did not observe--.it :parti.oularly1-until,ls.rea(#ied ' Harrisburg with my specimens.
By referring to the list you will find what you are likely to have in your briquettes the following important elements; aluminum, cobalt, c opper, nickel and zinc. Of course it will require a number of practical runs to determine about the per centage of each of the foregoing elements in your briquettes.
Have you had the iron analyzed that you found to be so tough? One or. two analyses of the iron itself, ar brought from the furnace, ought to throw considerable light on the subject. .
I think it would be better to throw away the list of miner-
als I sent you on the 14th, as in the hurry of typewriting there were two or three mistakes. The one enclosed, is practically correct ,
With kindest regards, and sincarest desiresthat the work at Edison shall be a grand success, I remain
Faithfully yours.
Geologist and Mineralogist.

Bear Sir : -
Please pardon mb, for addressing you with such a lame address, I .unfortunately oannot easily 'put my hand upon a better.
I an Prof Richards of the Bo,6tori';Teohhbio£ioal Institute, and' I am engaged in writing a booh upon the oonoentrat.ing of ores,
I have visited all the great mills, between here and San; Francisco .
\ Quincy, the Anaconda, the
including the calumet and Hecla,
Boston and Montana, the Ontario, a^d t;io smuggler and about seventy others, I have spared no pairjn to get\good reliable ao counts of the methods v
I nor; ask if I na ifavo the priviisjdge of visiting ; works of whioh I have heard pu*h favorable comment/. May I bring a young friend with me, Mr , .E.Looke?
to at/tend the meeting of the 'American Institute
notes, to submit them
of' Mining Engineers in February, and if it is agreeable to you
ip at your works on Saturday
to have me I should like/ to sto] my way back.
My plan has bjaon in every oase to write out my mill
i the owners or the managers of the mills
that they may oorroot ^mistaken and remove statements if such occur that might conflict with the interest of those concerned.
I may say that I sent my assistant to see the mill in 1895 and that Mr Edison very kindly allowed him to see the , cru¬ shing plant but ho was not ready at that time to have him visit the sizing and separating plant.

Dear Slr:-
Your letter of the 2nd. in/t. jU?t at hand. I arc very sorry to have you say you cannot tMrntsh me^it/ briquettes under four to si; weeks.
Our Mr. John C. Huerfel who/Oid your company an excavator some months ago had a talk with Mry4iso\ about ore briquettes and the was the first we knew of them, u/have ar/mged-our retorts to use the in our gas plant; therefore, we /re now readk for them and can use noth ing else and ! wish you could /ana ge to make this shipment much sooner than the time you name as we.are now. wait ing unier a considerable ex¬ pense to make this test, dould it prove success/* we may want to ar¬ range for large amounts of them hereafter. \
However, you may book my order for eighteen thousand( 18000 ) pounds of briquettes m«/e of magnetic ore concentrated as near Fe« 04 ae possible and ship them to me at Toledo, Ohio, as much sooner than the time named as possible.

Dear Sir:-
i contemplating using a crusher somewhat similar to
that which you have in u^atj/Edison and I write to inquire whether it will be agreeable to you)4o send me a blue print showing this crusher. The size which i/woii'Skt use would probably be about that which you employ for youy second\rushing. Has Mr. Edison a. pat¬ ent on this crusher? If so, what wduld be his royalty charge?
If you coul<y send me blue prints of this machine, you would confer a very gi*eat favor upon,
/Yours very truly.

V/. S# Mallory, Esq#, /
Vice Prest, N. J. & Penna, Concentrating Works,
' ‘ % i
Orange, New Jersey.
Dear Sir: \ J
I thank you ^or your favor/of the 10th inst. and I wish you would convey to Mr\ Edison my Sincere appreciation of the offer to help me reaeh aXconclusiefn as to what is best adapted for the work we have in mind. \ In vipvr of the latter, I submit below a statement of the condition^ tliat I am anxious to meet.
In the first place, \the ore which we wish to handle is Cornwall ore and the purpo/e \s to crush this ore preliminary to the roasting process. A i Mr. Edison is probably aware, this
r broken by hand
before 1
/
; charged into the roasters.
Several attempts have beak made to cr\sh this ore, both with jaw and cone crushers but t ye variation in tti^character of the ore is such that none of ttjese experiments have V^oved successful.
Some of the ore is ha^d and can be handled successfully in an ordinary crusher but jb he difficulty is that, mixed in with the hard ore as it is delivered from the mine, there is considerable fine soft ore that is dan/p and in such a condition that the ordinary crusher becomes clokged. When the problem was presented, it: oc¬ curred to me at onfce that on the face of things, a crusher similar to those which you have in use at Edison ought to meet the con-
W. S. M. #2.
ditions without much difficulty. The maximum size of the ore as it eomes from tho Mines may be taken as the equivalent of a twelve (12) inch cube, although most of it is smaller. It would meet every requirement if these lumps were crushed to the equivalent of a four (4) inch cube, i.e. about the size of a.closed hand or fist. This I presume would involve spacing the rolls about four (4) in¬ ches apart, a condition which would readily allow, it seems to me, the fine ore to pass through without in any manner clogging the crusher. Presumably some of the damp fine ore would cling to the rolls, but whether this would amount to enough to effect the operation, it seems to me very doubtful while, if such a state of affairs did develop, it ought to be possible to arrange some method of brushes at the rear of the rolls whereby all soft ore clinging to the rolls in excess of a certain amount would be scraped off.
The capacity of the crushing plant should be from 600 to 700 tons per day.
As Mr. Edison is aware, this ore is for the most part readily crushed, although once in a while pieces containing a high percentage of iron and very hard are encountered. These masses are rare however.
I believe I have stated the principle points to be con¬ sidered in-this matter and I would be very much obliged if Mr. Edison will- express his opinion in regard to the problem; also I would thank you very much if you would send mo a drawing giving 'in general, the layout of the rol^to perform the work mentioned as v
W. S. M. #3.
well as an estimate of what the crushing plant^ exclusive of the engine^. would cost including the 15^ referred to in your letter. Likewise, I would like to know the Horse Power which you would consider essential. I would also like very much to have the sketch show what you consider the most desirable location for the engine.
If we can feel assured of success in this matter, there is no question to my mind but that the plant will be installed.
We are anxious to settle this question as soon as poss¬ ible and I would therefore be obliged if you would give this matter your prompt attention.
Kindly convey to Mr. Edison my sincere regards and be¬ lieve me,
Very truly yours,
Harrisburg, Pa., Mar. 21* 1898.

My Dear Friend:
I wish to thark you again for your courtesy and extreme kindness while with you at Edison last week.
Since thinking over the matter, with the statistics 1 have,
■ ■ ■ \
I believe that the ore taken out on Friday last at the Odgen mine is about the lowest in magnetite you will likely encounter on the true belt that you are mining. As you go toward tl» old vein, the percentage of magnetite will increase.
Relative to the sand for a sand blast, if you could keep -the material from the Ogden pit separate fran the Davenport pit, you would have good material now for sand fclast purposes vi I find that
the pulverized material fran the Ogden iB as hard, if not harder, than much of the sajid blast material now uBed.
Faithfully yourB,
Geologlst and. Mineralogist.

interest. It is well nigh impossible for me to get away at this
V time to go to Edison as I km very busy. I would like very much
^ to have the opportunity to ^alk over the matter with Mr. Edison
^ and I certainly expect to do\so/ In the meantime however, I
gather that there will be ^difficulty in using the rolls for
the purpose that I desire, ,khe 'only question being wh ether they

si that your intermediate /rolls break '12 inch cubes down to 6 inches.
^ S / \
Could they not be made to break down l^o 4 inches if they were
| ^J^Placed closer together? What I am especially desirous of knowing is, whether one set of rolls will break down to 4 inch cubes, and if so, what the jliameter of the rolls will be. This information will enable us to decide whether we will use the rolls and after such decision, /I will go on and talk the matter over with Mr. Ed¬ ison if he wiljL kindly spare the time.

Dear Sir:
Mr. Roberts has reported to us his conversation with you con¬ cerning our Proposed Crushing Plant. We understand your proposition to be as follows
1st. You agree to prepare the necessary drawings for the equip¬ ment of Crushing Rolls and Feed Rolls, to secure several bids for the construction of this apparatus, to direct the construction, to see that the plant is started properly and satisfactorily and to license us to use your patent or patents covering any of the devices employed iii connection with the equipment.
2nd. We are to contract direct and pay for the roll equipment, to pay you for the actual cost of the drawings required and in addition to pay you a sum equal to fifteen (15) per cent of the contract for the Crushing and Feed Rolls.
3rd. You are to furnish us with a complete set of blue prints of the Crushing and Feed Rolls for our use in laying out the bins, making repairs etc.
The above is acceptable to us and IS hereby agreed to on our part. Please advise whether it is in accordance with your views.
Very respectfully yours.

My dear Mr Upton:- ‘ ;
Youra 5th I find on my return frm> Baltimore, ana I beg herewith to enoloee Mr Edgar,; card ana would suggest that you atop off at Perth Amboy on your way home and try to make a sale of the crusher to him. If you oannot get more, we will take $300. . The amount of our bill against the North American Chemical Company is $468. I trust you are having a pleasant time in Philadel¬ phia.
Mr Edison experimented with the Brick er Plant last week and oonfined hie attention entirely to one oven. He has discovered a way of baking the briquettes with a saving of .about 3/4 of the coal and 40,# of the muck. We are now making the . necessary diange on one furnace and hope to get it completed so we may have a test by Saturday and if the results he has already obtained are duplicated, we will then change the other furnaces which will probably take two weeks, if there is no delay in get¬ ting the material.

We thank you for your favor of the 25th with enclosure. We would be obliged if you would state to us wherein the understanding of the agreement of Mr. Edison as written by you differs from that written by us and signed by Mr. Coleman. We see practically no dif¬ ference except that you include "necessary connections and appliances" As we are acting for the Lebanon Furnaces, wewould like to be fully informed as to just what will be included in the work that you are to receive 15 per cent of the cost.

Please advise us wliat we shall do as to termsotf payment also send us acceptance of our proposition of June 25th.
As to best location for engine Mr Edison says we are not prepared to state.not having the conditions at Cornwall, and that you will have to use your best judgement. The rolls should b6 run one hundred and twenty five(125) revolutions, from this you can figure out the other speeds.

Under separate cover we send you bids for the material for 3t3" Rolls so not to delay you any further. We have' been waiting bid from Scaife Foundry & Machine Company, which has just been received. '
Please note that we have not as yet received acceptance'- of our proposition of June 25th and that we shall expect to" receive it before you place contracts, your proposition of June 7th for Lebanon Furnaces is not satisfactory to Mr Edison.

SEP 20 ]
V/e have your favor of the 15th inst. with enclosures. We would call your attention however to the fact that the following bids listed on the second page of your letter were not enclosed.
0. F. McMurray, Jones and Laughlins, Dover Boiler Works, Tippett and Wood. We are not sure whether you have enclosed duplicates of orders referred to in the latter part of your letter since v/e assume that the enclosure is a specification to which you refer in the first line of the second page of your letter.
Assuming that the enclosure last referred to is a specifica¬ tion, we noto that it is divided into tv/o parts. Are v/e correct in interpreting your letter to mean that the last list of bidders given in your lettor tender bids covering all parts included under the head¬ ing "List of Material that Owner is to Furnish".
Where is the material to come from embraced under the heading "List of Material Contractor is to Furnish"? Is this material includ¬ ed in the bids for 36" rolls?
We have spend half the morning in trying to arrange and sched¬ ule the bids so as to examine them intelligently. We must confess hov/ever our inability to do so with any degree of satisfaction owing to the fact that we are not familiar with the details. We therefore return to you herewith all bids except those for the foils and would respectfully ask that you,
1st. Schedule the bids so that they ean be compared.
2nd. Lump together the lowest bids in iach case so that the
H.J. & Pa. Con. Works. #2a. ' *
sum total will show the total amount to be expended to secure all parts necessary for the proper construction of the rolls except those included in the bids for rolls which we retain.
If you will kindly send us these schedules it will enable us to deal intelligently with the matter.
When we come to place the contracts, we should have at least three copies of the specifications which you sent out asking for bids. Please let us have these three copies at your earliest convenience.
We wrote you some time ago asking for a general plan showing the various parts embraced in your work. Please understand that while we have the details, what we desire is a general drawing showing those details connected together, otherwise it is impossible for us to pro- . ceed with our part of the work intelligently.
You will also recall the fact that the writer wrote you some time ago about the distance between roll centers. We wish to break to 4" lumps whereas the drawings of the rolls which we have shows the space very much less than 4"; likewise the gears are not proportioned for a spece of at least 4" between the rolls. We have heard nothing from you in reply to our letter and would ask that you kindly take up these questions.
We are especially anxious to got this work started and will appreciate anything you can do to hasten matters.
The writer talked with Mr. Coleman on the telephone this morn¬ ing and Mr. Coleman states that he thinks your statement of our agree¬ ment is satisfactory to him. We will however send you a formal accept¬ ance when we receive Mr. Coleman's letter in reply to ours.

Correspondence (1899)
This folder contains documents, primarily correspondence, relating to the daily activities and improvements at the Ogden works. Most of the letters are from Cal Freid and R. H. Cunningham, superintendents, to Edison regarding the progress of work. Some letters concern the market for Edison’s crushing technology, including its use at the New Jersey Zinc Co. in Franklin, New Jersey. There is one undated letter in Edison’s hand instructing Walter S. Mallory, vice president, to take samples from ore tailings. Some items relate to briquettes, the quality of ore from the Ogden mines, and conditions in the iron market. Some of the material may be partially or completely illegible due to light and faded ink and discolored paper. Approximately 40 percent of the documents have been filmed.

Dear Sirs:-
Referring to your favor \of Jan, lo'th, we write to say that the cOntraot for the orushing raaohinery has not/yet been plaoed and that wo shall do our best to secure the order ror/your rolls.
We have presented all the argimpnts in their favor and have had to meet with some pretty strong ones frbm tne other side, who iquotc a much lower price per pound and refer to plants where their machinery has been in oporation continuously and on large capacities for several years.
Among such cases, the Oates Iron Works refer to jojinson 1 s Lime stone orushing Plant at Newcastle, Pa. where the average quantity of stone crushed daily through an entire spason was 1300 yds. pbr day. This was done by one No. 8 crusher whioh weighs 90,000 lbs. and oosts $4590 five cents per pound. / \
We shall do our be ft, however, and will try to turn the order
your way.
Very feruly yourB./

Your favor of Jan. 21st is received and contents noted. The figures of costs are very interesting butt as far as we can see, the comparatively, small- capacity desired byVejur customers will militate against their paying a prioe for your rolls of /. 08 per pound when they can. buy the Gates crusher for $.05 per lb. f Probably the strongest advantage in the rolls lies in the saving of power and repairs and, unfortunately.
both of these items t
difficult to estimate exactly.
We shallc’.do our best, however, and shall advise you as soon as
the matter is decided.

Mr. Brendlin .reported here this morning and aftkr hearing from Mr. Hardanbergh the condition of our work, which you have communicated to him, we. did not think it would be necessary/ to return Mr. Brendlin to you again. Should this be in opposition to your wishes, will you kindly advise us and I will take measures to correct/it? Otherwise, we will keep him here.
Shall be glad/ to get the drawings to whichVou refer, of Dryer and Elevators as soon y4s possible. With- kind regards ,\

Dear Sir:-
Tt has been suggested\o us that work on Screens for which pre¬ liminary details fceve been made by, Mr. Herte'r, could be finished at this office, by Mr. Brendlin, as it is all wrought iron work. The Dryer you probably would have to finish there oh account of using your Patterns.
Tf this meets with your app Aal, it may be wise to .finish up all other odds and ends with Mr. Brendlih whVe you ha^e him there, and' then "let him come back and bring his work for^he J^reene with himf We'can finish it here then and submit it to Mr .'Edison foAhis approval. This would give us the use of Mr. Brendlin at tZnes when we aA so tightly pushed for him:

Your favor of 20th received. Note that Mr. Brendlin will take about two weeks more to finish Screen drawing/ and would say in order to leave him there that length Vr time it will/compell us to hire another Draughtsman for here. The situation will /ot be relieved even with the new Draughtsman here, as we had counted on Mr. Brendlin's returning sooner, and the consequence is that we are v£ry muc,h behind, although up to the present . our work has not suffered. \ /
T am sorry that we do not \igree with you as to the payment of extra wages to Mr. Haddock, as if Itr. Nphillips was not of particular value to you in the work which you had /in hand we think it would have been your decision to have allowed him to/remain atVour work, and as he was our Draughtsman we feel that we should not be Called on to pay the extra amount which you have charged us with through change, of transferring Mr. Phillips into your department and taking him out of ourk.
I will consult our Vice-president aboiN^ the matter and will be guided by his decision. /

Yours 28th, ulto. just received here, snme having been forwarded from Orange, I also have received letter from Mr, Kardenbergh asking me to call on him, which I hope to do on Satur¬ day or early next week, depending upon when I get away from 'Philadelphia, and will take the Haddock matter up with him, • ^ I have telephoned Mr. Haddock to drop your work, as you request, and go ahead with our phonograph work.
As to friction between ue, please note we had no thought of it, or any desire in that direction. It has never been our policy to split hairs, and we do not propose to start at this late day.
Please accept thanks for the blue prints. We know as to the bad weather of late, and said to Mr, Horsh that our representative sailed last Saturday for London, and would have to wait on other - side for the prints, and if you could not get than out at once, we would make some of the prints at Bdison or Orange, or both places, so to get than quickly.

Dear Sir:- 0ranfie’ H* J*
Your letter of 27th ins t. received. ,Xn reply would say that we note that you have arranged t6 let us have Mr. Brendlin on Monday next.
The Batter of payingW. Haddock the difference in wages we have referred to our Vice-president <fnd his dec/sion will be final.
Referring to the statement whicil you make that Mr. Edison felt at liberty to take Mr. Phillips, can o\ly be7' due, so far as we know, to one fact, and that is when Mr. Phillips Wt us his letter of resignation say¬ ing that Mr. Edison desired his servJL, I accepted the resignation. A few days later when you shut down your ■/orksYyou telephoned me saying that the arrangement had been completely u/set and Vt you would request that I would reinstate Mr. Phillips, wh/ch T read Unagreed to. This is the only basis that I know of that you can have for maki'ng such a statement, T not having been consulted as to an/thing regarding m\ Phillips being employed by Mr. Edison or taken off our work since. \
We should have felt very much better if -ttuhad been your pleasure to have advised us before t i/e monthly returns of time came in as to Mr. Haddock's being placed on oW work and his rate of wages, nothing of this king, however, was received by us and we did not understand it when we received the Time Checks and made out our Pay Bolls. This, I believe, you will admit.
Jf Mr. Haddock declines to go on with our work, we will .authorize you to put Mr. Brendlin on it and retain him until our work is finished. We will get along without him here until he is. through with our work in your office. We will write Mr. Brendlin personally to-day.
[ENCLOSURE]
W.S. Mallory- (2) -2-28-99.
We beg to advise you that, we have sent forward your Blue Prints requested some time ago, covering all parts of our Crusher Plant, Engine and Boiler Houses, so far as we have received the drawings from you for your part of the work. V/e had so little good weather in the intervening time between the time of your request and the present to make these Blue Prints that it must have seemed to you arery slow. At the same time we were giving you the services of the only man we had in the office during the ten or twelve days Mr. persh was detained at his home owing to sick¬ ness. T understand from Mr. Hersh that in your telephone message you seemed to think we had acted extremely slow. This I hardly think we de¬ serve under the cirsumstances.
We, however, do not wish to have any friction in any of the matters pertaining to the business relating to our Hew Mill work or with you personally or as a corporation and shall do all in our power to make you feel that we are prepared to do what is right in every way.

Yours of the. 2 4th., is at hand/ and noted. We trust you will keep us in mind and give\us an opportunity jto figure with you when the proper time comes.. Pleas\bear in mind however that .matters in the iron line of "business are not\mprdring and that it is very difficult
to get material of any kind. Stei
.stings have advanced §15.00 pei
ton and we cannot get sar.e delivered fcmch Siort of six weeks or two months. About a fair average yortise in th.p price of material that goes into the construction of theie shovels is §8.. 00 to §9.00 per ton,since six weeks or two months ago'. \

Dear Sir:
On my return from Washington tlks mornipg I found yours of the 1st instant. In reply thereto I Trill ssV that although the furnace has run very successfully on tin .pr.e, whicfl/ls much harder to ; smelt than yours, it has never been tried on irhn\ore',i hence the difficulty to tell you about the exact cost per-ton. i enclose you a copy of the Patent which explains itself. We ha /Ye modified same for smelting iron and expect additional patents.
The cost of a ruraace y/o smelt thirty Vto fourty tons per diem will not exceed $5,000.00. I /have good reason tp believe that the cost of smelting will not be ybver S
The furnace does >6lean work, and there is\ no appreciable, fine ore carried Sway -during treatment. The expense of bricquetting is dispensed with, and acaStiron -of superior quality is, produced.
If this interests you, we will be pleased to have you meet, our Engineer, ' who isyihe inventor of the furnace.
Yours very truly, //

Mr. I. P. Pardee,
Hazleton, Pa.
Dear Sir: —
'ile are indebted for your address to Mr. Allison, of Allentown. We should like to have some information in regard to the quality of tbe Pardee ore mined at Ogden. Mr. Allison tells us that .you used this ore at Musconetcong, and that you are familiar with its general' character. If not too much trouble, will you kindly advise us what you can as to its analysis ana its working. in the furnace. It would be especially desirable to get any surveys of the property showing the condition of the deposit at or about the time work was suspended. We are looking up this matter for Mr. Edison. Awaiting your kind reply, we remain
Yours very truly.

Your favor of May ldth., would have been answered beforo but the writer was out of town forysorno days. I used considerable of the Pardee ore from the Ogden ,Mine\at Stanhope and it was a very good working ore for a raaghetio ore\lt had littlo or no sulphur. The iron ran about v54X, phosphorus S^ora 1 1/4 to l«Gj£«.
I have just received a telegram from Mr. AloxartW Elliott, Jr., saying he would call on nye tomorrow, and, as I believe he is an attorney employed by Mr. /Edison, 1 can give him any farther information that X have that he desires.,

Dear Sir:-
Will you kindly advise us If there is any objection to putting the springs on the 36" Rolls, which we have as our lowest Rolls in our Crusher House, on the rear end? As we now have them they are on the front end and protrude out so as to make it somewhat, inconvenient for getting into the Rolls in front. / /
If there is no objection to changing them to the rear- on your part, we know of nothing here.
Kindly advise and oblige,
Very truly yours,
ME VT JERSEY ZJMC CO.,
